Members of the SICon Group publish an article in “Case Studies in Construction Materials – Journals”

The article is titled: “Evaluation of eco-efficient geopolymer using chamotte and waste glass-based alkaline solutions” and is present in volume 16 of “Case Studies in Construction Materials – Journals”, 2022.

The authors of the article are: Beatryz C.Mendes, Leonardo G.  Pedroti, Carlos Maurício F. Vieira, José Maria F. Carvalho, José Carlos L. Ribeiro, Nathalia M. Albuini-Oliveira, Igor Klaus R. Andrade. The group is composed of researchers from the Department of Civil Engineering at the Federal University of Viçosa and the State University of Norte Fluminense Darcy Ribeiro.

This work aimed to manufacture a more eco-efficient product and recycle industrial waste, contributing to the solution of the disposal problem. Thus, this study evaluated the performance of alkali-activated pastes produced from industrial wastes in both phases, using chamotte as the precursor and waste glass (WG) as a component of the activating solution.
