20.500.12556/DiRROS-18388 Green transition in slovenian building and civil engineering industry 10 years of research on alkali-activated materials and alkali-activated foams The building and civil engineering industry yearly causes more than 40% of man-made CO2 and consumes raw materials for two-thirds of Mont Everest. To decrease the carbon footprint and consumption of raw materials, alkali-activated materials (AAMs) are researched as an alternative to conventional building and civil engineering products like cements, mortar, and ceramics. Ideally, locally available waste materials are used as ingredients: (i) as precursors that react with alkali and form an aluminosilicate network, and (ii) as fillers that get permanently encapsulated and safely stored in AAMs. The addition of gas bubbles and lightweight fillers transforms AAMs into alkali-activated foams and alkali-activated lightweight materials that have the potential to be used as thermal and acoustic insulation materials. Although AAMs are researched worldwide, this review focuses on the state-of-the-art localised solely to Slovenia, particularly on the materials and curing procedures used, as well as on the scientific contribution of the basic research. Besides, the year 2024 marks 10 years of research on alkali activation of raw and waste inorganic materials in Slovenia. secondary raw material alkali-activated material alkali-activated foams alkali circular economy microwave irradiation mechanical strength sekundarne surovine alkalijsko aktivirani materiali alkalijsko aktivirane pene alkalije krožno gospodarstvo mikrovalovno obsevanje tlačna trdnost true false true University of Ljubljana Press Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik © 2024 by the authors.
