Ordinary cement, often called by its formal name of Portland cement, is a serious atmospheric pollutant. Studies have shown that one ton of carbon dioxide gas is released into [...]

GEOpolymeric Cements for Innocuous
Stabilisation of Toxic EleMents

Geosynthesis was the objective of the European multidisciplinary BriteEuram industrial research project GEOCISTEM. The project titled cost effective GEOpolymeric Cements for Innocuous Stabilization of Toxic EleMents, in short GEOCISTEM, started on Jan. 1994 and has been completed on June 1997.

The project seek to manufacture economical geopolymeric [...]
