Alkali-activated cements: Opportunities and challenges

Roy, Della M.

Alkali-activated cements as discussed here are those with compositions falling in the Me₂O-MeO-Me₂O₃-SiO₂-H₂O system. This paper reviews their history of development and discusses their present status. Currently, there are major opportunities for such cements based upon (a) substantial knowledge of properties and mechanisms; (b) good track record of field performance in various applications and; (c) future orientation as environmentally friendly materials in accord with making use of substantial amounts of by-product and waste materials, thereby consuming less energy and generating less waste. The equivalent performance to Portland cement materials is one target for these cements, but, in many cases, the properties of alkali-activated cements actually are superior. It is important for assuring long-term durability to characterize more fully the complex solid phases, including determining the combined state of alkali in the solid hydration products, and of the residual soluble species in the pore fluids as a function of time.
