Advances in alkali-activation of clay minerals
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
Clay minerals can be used as precursors for alkali-activated materials (AAMs), alongside more established materials such as fly ash and slag. A variety of different clay minerals can be used, including kaolinite, halloysite, montmorillonite, and illite, either individually or in combination - but a "one size fits all" approach to activation will not work, as reactivity and phase formation depends on the clay's chemistry and mineralogy.

Scientists found that you can make new super strong building materials from different kinds of clay dirt. But just like baking, each type of clay needs its own special recipe to work best.

Explicación de la calificación
An average review paper. Provides a helpful synthesis of recent advances in alkali-activation of clays, and clearly identifies the opportunities and challenges. However, not a lot of new findings, and focus is narrow, specifically on forming geopolymers.
