Innovative AAC: Transforming Water Treatment Sludge into Sustainable Cemen
Publication Highlights
- Undehydrated commercial raw clay was used as main precursor for AAC’s formulation.
- Water treatment sludge partially replacing raw clay was also used as a precursor.
- Al and Ca coming from the WTS are involved in the gelation process of AAC formed.
- The use of WTS for sustainable cement formulation provides added value to the waste.
