Synthesis of kaolin-based alkali-activated cement: carbon footprint, cost and energy assessment

The main purpose of the work reported herein is to use kaolin to produce one-part alkali-activated cement. Thermal activation was performed on kaolin in the presence of alkalis (calcium oxide, sodium silicate, and sodium carbonate). Optimization experimental investigations were undertaken with selec...
