Geopolymer Cement for mitigation of Global Warming
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, Pennstate University, USA. Unfortunately, American Agencies (DOE and EPA) stated that this was not an important issue and both institutions declined to support research proposals. [...]
Cements, Concretes, Toxic Wastes, Global Warming
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 [...]

#16: Environmentally Driven Geopolymer Cement Applications
Environmentally Driven Geopolymer Cement Applications. by Joseph Davidovits Invited Paper, Geopolymer 2002 International Conference, October 28-29, Melbourne, Australia Environmentally driven geopolymer applications are based on the implementation of (K,Ca)-Poly(sialate-siloxo) / (K,Ca)-Poly(sialate-disiloxo) cements. In industrialized countries (Western countries) emphasis is put on toxic waste (heavy metals) and radioactive waste safe containment. On the opposite, in emerging [...]
#5: Global Warming Impact on the Cement and Aggregates Industry
5th International Global Warming Conference San Francisco, 1994 Global Warming Impact on the Cement and Aggregates Industry by Joseph Davidovits published in World Resource Review, Vol.6 (2), pp. 263-278 (1994) CO2 related energy taxes are focusing essentially on fuel consumption, not on actual CO2 emission measured at the chimneys. Ordinary Portland cement, used in the [...]
#3: GEOPOLYMERS Inorganic polymeric new materials
NASTS award 1994 Presentation at the national “Real Advances in Materials” Symposium, Washington DC, Sept. 26,1994 GEOPOLYMERS: Inorganic polymeric new materials by Joseph Davidovits published in Journal of Materials Education, Vol. 16 (2,3), pp. 91-138 (1994) In the aftermath of various catastrophic fires in France between 1970-73, which involved common organic plastic, research on non-flammable [...]
