Professor Joseph Davidovits is proud to announce the release of his book entitled: GEOPOLYMER CHEMISTRY AND APPLICATIONS with ca. 590 pages and 26 Chapters.
The photo shows the first printing for proof-reading. We expect to get the first exemplars printed for the end of February 2008. The first edition of the book will be sold [...]

Industrial Research has developed a process which will enable the fly ash waste material from burning coal at the Huntly Power Station to be used as a feedstock for making new geoploymer materials.
Geopolymers are being investigated as an alternative to traditional cement materials and for waste remediation of hazardous substances.
Previously the high calcium level of [...]

Up to 90% reduction of CO2 Greenhouse Gas emission during cement manufacture
Professor J. Davidovits started working on CO2 emissions mitigation as earlier as 1990, at PennState Materials Research Laboratory, USA. American Agencies (DOE and EPA) stated that this was not an important issue and both institutions declined to support research proposals.
In this section we develop:
a) [...]

Applications with geopolymer cements and concretes are described in the section Geopolymer Cement with special emphasis on the introduction of user-friendly systems. It is striking to notice that Geopolymer cements manufacture emits 80 to 90% less CO2 (greenhouse effect gas) than Portland Cement. See in GLOBAL WARMING. They are perfect examples of Green Chemistry and [...]
