• 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   Ceramic tiles waste as replacement material in Portland cement 

      Mas, María A.; Reig, Lucía; Monzó, J.; Borrachero, Mª Victoria; PAYÁ, JORDI ICE Publishing (2015-11-02)
      The pozzolanic reactivity of real ceramic waste from different tile manufacturing companies was evaluated and its suitability as a partial Portland cement replacement was analysed. The raw material was finely ground and ...
    • closedAccess   Ceramic wastes as alternative raw materials for Portland cement clinker production 

      Puertas, F.; García-Díaz, I.; Barba-Juan, Antonio; Gazulla Barreda, Maria Fernanda; Palacios, Marta; Gómez-Tena, Maria Pilar; Martínez Ramirez, S. Elsevier (2008)
      The cement industry has for some time been seeking procedures that would effectively reduce the high energy and environmental costs of cement manufacture. One such procedure is the use of alternative materials as partial ...
    • closedAccess   Clinkers and cements obtained from raw mix containing ceramic waste as a raw material. Characterization, hydration and leaching studies 

      Puertas, F.; García-Díaz, I.; Palacios, Marta; Gazulla Barreda, Maria Fernanda; Gómez-Tena, Maria Pilar; Orduña, Mónica Elsevier (2010)
      A clinker and a cement obtained from a raw mix containing ceramic waste as an alternative raw material were characterized in the present study. Their hydration, physical-chemical properties and leaching behaviour in different ...
    • openAccess   Influence of calcium aluminate cement (CAC) on alkaline activation of red clay brick waste (RCBW) 

      Reig, Lucía; Soriano, Lourdes; Borrachero, Mª Victoria; Monzó, J.; PAYÁ, JORDI Elsevier (2016-01)
      In this paper, the effect of calcium aluminate cement (CAC) additions on the alkali activation of red clay brick waste (RCBW) was studied at room temperature and at 65 °C. RCBW was partially replaced with CAC (0–50 wt.%) ...
    • closedAccess   Influence of the activator concentration and calcium hydroxide addition on the properties of alkali-activated porcelain stoneware 

      Reig, Lucía; Soriano, Lourdes; Borrachero, Mª Victoria; Monzó, J.; PAYÁ, JORDI Elsevier (2014-07)
      Objective The aim of this research was to investigate the influence of the alkali activator concentration and calcium dosage on the fresh behavior, compressive strength and microstructure of the binder produced by the ...
    • 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 ...
