Innovations like recycled aggregates and industrial byproducts (e.g., fly ash) are easing these pressures.Sustainable Practices and Future Innovations Low-Carbon Alternatives and Material Substitutions Researchers are exploring geopolymers and limestone-calcined clay as cement substitutes, slashing CO₂ output by up to 40%. ...
NORM waste Naturally-occurring Radioactive Materials or NORM occur naturally as the name suggests. However, certain work activities can give rise to significantly enhanced exposures that need to be controlled. For typical NORM material, exceeding the acceptable yearly radiation dose is what is concerning, rather than any immediate health effects. ...
This allowed me to participate in a symposium that ASTM Committee C01 on Cement organized, and my contributed paper was included in the resulting Special Technical Publication, STP 1566, Geopolymer Binder Systems. My student membership also made me eligible to participate in research paper competitions and other contests. ...
Geopolymers have attracted much attention since the 1980s. However, their geopolymerisation mechanisms are not well understood, partly due to the complexity of the formation of amorphous phases that are difficult to characterise. ...
