20.500.12556/DiRROS-21840 Mineral waste into alkali-activated pavements The study highlights the pressing need to recycle mineral waste to mitigate resource depletion and environmental damage. It focuses on creating sustainable pavement slabs through alkali activation, using a variety of waste materials such as bio-ash, local slags and mineral wool. Through extensive testing of different mix designs, the optimal mixture was identified: bio-ash, ladle slag, and metakaolin, activated with sodium silicate. This combination demonstrated good mechanical properties and showed low concentrations of toxic elements in leaching tests, confirming environmental safety. The research also prioritized energy efficiency, with the curing process conducted at room temperature and demolding after just one day. A test field at Termit d.d. was established to assess the practical application and potential for commercial use of these innovative paving materials, aiming to support a circular economy by extending the lifecycle of resources. alkali-activation pavement slabs mineral waste recycling alkalijska aktivacija tlakovci mineralni odpadki recikliranje true false true University of Maribor, University Press Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik © 2025 Univerza v Mariboru, Univerzitetna založba Neznano 2025-04-07 10:46:57 2025-04-07 10:52:58 2025-10-24 03:49:59 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 121-139 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-03-03 620.1/.2 230790915 227616771 https://press.um.si/index.php/ump/catalog/book/949/chapter/246 1 de6c5325-138c-11f0-963a-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=31485 RAZ_Pavlin_Majda_2025.pdf RAZ_Pavlin_Majda_2025.pdf 1 3D8F9C8F987DED0D86E98BBDC644C0E9 a31f68a5f621c224d31e21f3c7b1d99bd87bf076973e5cc56e1c162e688fa2c6 7e2ac76f-138d-11f0-963a-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=31487 Zavod za gradbeništvo Slovenije Dataset for the conference paper Mineral waste into alkali-activated pavements 0 0 0
