• openAccess   Alkaline activation of ceramic waste materials 

      Reig, Lucía; Tashima, M. M.; Soriano, Lourdes; Borrachero, Mª Victoria; Monzó, J.; PAYÁ, JORDI Springer (2013-12)
      Ceramic materials represent around 45% of construction and demolition waste, and originate not only from the building process, but also as rejected bricks and tiles from industry. Despite the fact that these wastes are ...
    • openAccess   Behaviour of metakaolin-based geopolymers incorporating sewage sludge ash (SSA) 

      Reig, Lucía; Borrachero, Mª Victoria; Istuque, D.B.; Moraes, J.C.B.; Akasaki, Jorge Luís; Soriano, Lourdes; PAYÁ, JORDI; Malmonge, J.A.; Tashima, M. M. Elsevier (2016)
      In recent years, geopolymers have become a widely researched binding material. There are technological and environmental advantages to using this type of binder instead of Portland cement. In this study, binary systems of ...
    • openAccess   Compressive strength and microstructure of alkali-activated blast furnace slag/sewage sludge ash (GGBS/SSA) blends cured at room temperature 

      Tashima, M. M.; Reig, Lucía; Santini Jr., M.A.; Moraes, J.C.B.; Akasaki, Jorge Luís; PAYÁ, JORDI; Borrachero, Mª Victoria; Soriano, Lourdes Springer Verlag (2017)
      In the present work, ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) and sewage sludge ash (SSA) blends were assessed for the production of alkali-activated pastes and mortars. Percentages of SSA to substitute GGBS ranged ...
    • openAccess   Influence of calcium additions on the compressive strength and microstructure of alkali-activated ceramic sanitary-ware 

      Reig, Lucía; Soriano, Lourdes; Tashima, M. M.; Borrachero, Mª Victoria; Monzó, José María; PAYÁ, JORDI Wiley (2018-01)
      The ceramic sanitary‐ware market generates large amounts of waste, both during the production process and due to construction and demolition practices. In this paper, the effect of different amounts and calcium sources ...
    • openAccess   Properties and microstructure of alkali-activated red clay brick waste 

      Reig, Lucía; Tashima, M. M.; Borrachero, Mª Victoria; Monzó, J.; Cheeseman, C. R.; PAYÁ, JORDI Elsevier (2013-06)
      Sintered red clay ceramic is used to produce hollow bricks which are manufactured in enormous quantities in Spain. They also constitute a major fraction of construction and demolition waste. The aim of this research was ...
    • openAccess   Use of ceramic sanitaryware as an alternative for the development of new sustainable binders 

      Reig, Lucía; Borrachero, Mª Victoria; Monzó, J.; Savastano, Holmer; Tashima, M. M.; PAYÁ, JORDI Trans Tech Publications (2016)
      Large amounts of ceramic sanitary-ware waste are generated in both the production process and construction and demolition practices. This waste contains amorphous phases that may react with the Portlandite that originates ...
    • openAccess   Use of residual diatomaceous earth as a silica source in geopolymer production 

      Font, A.; Soriano, Lourdes; Reig, Lucía; Tashima, M. M.; Borrachero, Mª Victoria; Monzó, J.; PAYÁ, JORDI Elsevier (2018)
      The use of binders as an alternative to Portland cement has gained importance in recent years. Among them, geopolymeric binders, developed by the reaction between an aluminosilicate precursor and a high alkalinity solution, ...
