Alkali Activation of Metallurgical Slags: Reactivity, Chemical Behavior, and Environmental Assessment
Isabella Lancellotti,Federica Piccolo,Katja Traven,Mark Češnovar,Vilma Ducman,Cristina Leonelli +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the electric arc furnace carbon or stainless steel slag (EAF) and secondary metallurgical slag such as ladle furnace basic slags (LS) as precursors in an alkali-activation process.

Synthesis and Characterization of Biochar-Based Geopolymer Materials
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the possibility to realize alkali-activated materials exploiting biochar, a secondary raw material coming from pyrolysis/gasification processes, for environmental benefits, such as improvement of soil fertility and reduction of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere thanks to the carbon sink process where carbon dioxide is subtracted from the cycle of carbon.

Antibacterial properties and cytotoxicity of 100% waste derived alkali activated materials: slags and stone wool-based binders
Caterina Sgarlata,Giovanni Dal Poggetto,Federica Piccolo,Michelina Catauro,Katja Traven,Mark Češnovar,Hoang Nguyen,Juho Yliniemi,Luisa Barbieri,Vilma Ducman,Isabella Lancellotti,Cristina Leonelli +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the leaching behavior and the antibacterial and cytotoxic properties of 100% slag or stone wool derived alkali activated materials, and show that the high quality of the 3D aluminosilicate network of the consolidated materials obtained from powders of CaO or MgO-rich slags or stone yarn, opportunely activated with NaO and/or Na-silicate, was capable to stabilize heavy metal cations.
The Effect of Fibrous Reinforcement on the Polycondensation Degree of Slag-Based Alkali Activated Composites.
Isabella Lancellotti,Federica Piccolo,Hoang Nguyen,Mohammad Mastali,Mohammad I.M. Alzeer,Mirja Illikainen,Cristina Leonelli +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the chemical stability of the matrix, in fiber-reinforced slag-based composites, was studied, in order to assess any possible effect of the presence of the reinforcement on the chemistry of polycondensation.
