Tailoring geopolymer concretes for sustainable development

该项目将使澳大利亚受益，促进更广泛地采用环保型地质聚合物混凝土。这些材料现在在澳大利亚已经可以买到，并提供了从数百万吨工业废物（粉煤灰和冶金炉渣）中获得价值的机会。一家澳大利亚公司Zeobond目前是世界领先的地质聚合物商业生产商，该公司正在这一项目中进行合作，以科学地了解如何最好地配制耐用的地质聚合物混凝土。地质聚合物混凝土将提供机会，减少澳大利亚的二氧化碳排放量超过100万吨，每年在商业规模实施。

This project will benefit Australia by enhancing the wider uptake of environmentally friendly geopolymer concretes. These materials are now commercially available in Australia, and provide the opportunity to obtain value from multiple millions of tonnes of industrial wastes (coal fly ash and metallurgical slags). An Australian company, Zeobond, is currently the world's leading commercial producer of geopolymers, and is collaborating in this project to develop a scientific understanding of how best to formulate durable geopolymer concretes. Geopolymer concrete will provide the opportunity to reduce Australia's CO2 emissions by over a million tonnes per year when implemented on a commercial scale.
