Sustainable Geopolymers: Properties, Design, and Practice

This book provides a comprehensive exploration of geopolymers, covering bibliometric analysis, preparation methods, property testing, design modelling, practical applications, and lifecycle assessment. It presents advanced technical frameworks and guidelines for engineers, researchers, academics, and policymakers, promoting sustainable practices aligned with global initiatives such as the Paris Agreement, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the African Union Agenda 2063. The chapters systematically address foundational knowledge, preparation techniques, testing methodologies, design modelling, real-world applications, and lifecycle impacts of geopolymers. FeaturesProvides comprehensive guidelines and strategies for sustainable geopolymer design and practice. Explores the integration of artificial intelligence with sustainability frameworks. Addresses geopolymer lifecycle assessment in accordance with ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 standards. Includes sample tables (e.g., mix design parameters and LCA results) to demonstrate formatting and presentation. Focuses on sustainable geopolymers aligned with the SDGs and circular economy principles, supported by case studies. This book equips readers with the knowledge and tools needed to innovate in geopolymer chemistry and sustainable design.
