Reactivity Assessment of Diverse Aluminosilicate Wastes in Metakaolin-Based Alkali-Activated Binders
Highlights Comparative cementing activity of five industrial wastes was assessed in alkali-activated binders. Float-glass polishing sludge showed the best performance (~25 MPa at 10 wt% addition), ahead of both bottom and fly ash. Compressive strength was correlated with crystallinity and Si/Al molar ratio. XRD, FT-IR...
