Foundation Industry Wastes for Cement Encapsulants

与目前广泛使用的硅酸盐水泥相比，粉煤灰、磨粒高炉矿渣等基础工业废弃物有潜力制成地聚合物水泥，对危险废弃物进行更有效的封装。活动将评估英国FI废物的来源和类型，以选择FI废物进行封装试验及其商业潜力，即：*开发地聚合物配方和工艺方法，以使用FI废物作为关键水泥成分封装模拟废物。这个为期12个月的项目是一个及时机会的第一步，利用FI废物生产颠覆性水泥技术，创造具有低二氧化碳足迹的具有国际吸引力的产品。

Foundation Industry (FI) wastes such as coal fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag can potentially be used in geopolymer cements to give more effective encapsulation of hazardous wastes compared with Portland Cement, which is extensively used at present.Activities will evaluate sources and types of FI wastes in the UK to select FI wastes for encapsulation trials and their business potential, namely:* develop geopolymer formulations and process methods to encapsulate simulants wastes using FI wastes as a key cement component.* maximise the amount encapsulated within the geopolymers* characterise properties of the composites to indicate compliance with disposal requirementsThis 12-month project is the first step of a timely opportunity to produce disruptive cement technology using FI wastes, creating internationally attractive products with low CO2 footprints.
