#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 [...]
