  4. 33. Optimization of a one-part geopolymerization method for lab-scale, using waste glass wool as a precursor

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

    Author : Oscar Enander; [2022]
    Keywords : Materials chemistry; Geopolymer; Glass wool; Recycling; Curing time; Curing temperature; Cement; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Geopolymers are amorphous inorganic polymeric structures. They are used as binding agents and can be compared to cementitious materials such as ordinary Portland cement. This thesis aims to produce geopolymers from waste glass wool. Today glass wool is found in isolation, both thermal and sound insulation, and it is not being recycled. READ MORE

  5. 34. Accelerated Carbonation Of Cement Pastes And Mortars
