In situ construction of graphdiyne based heterojunctions by a deprotection-free approach for photocatalytic hydrogen generation
Graphdiyne (GDY) with a direct bandgap, high charge carrier mobility, and ordered pore structure, is considered an excellent matrix for the construction of heterojunction photocatalysts. However, the traditional fabrication methods for GDY-based heterojunc ...
ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY2023Clay calcination technology: state-of-the-art review by the RILEM TC 282-CCL
Karen Scrivener, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva, Alastair Thomas Matthew Marsh, Mohsen Ben Haha, François Henri Avet, Shashank Bishnoi, Adrian Alujas Diaz, Anuj Parashar
The use of calcined clays as supplementary cementitious materials provides the opportunity to significantly reduce the cement industry's carbon burden; however, use at a global scale requires a deep understanding of the extraction and processing of the cla ...
SPRINGER2022Oxidation of pyrite (FeS2) and troilite (FeS) impurities in kaolinitic clays after calcination
Karen Scrivener, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva
Valorisation of locally available clays for producing blended cements is crucial for a widespread adoption of sustainable binders incorporating these materials. In some places, clays can be intermixed with small amounts of iron sulfides, which could eventu ...
SPRINGER2022Hydration and mixture design of calcined clay blended cements: review by the RILEM TC 282-CCL
Karen Scrivener, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva, Mohsen Ben Haha, François Henri Avet, Anuj Parashar, Yuvaraj Dhandapani, Sreejith Krishnan
The RILEM technical committee 282-CCL: Calcined Clays as Supplementary Cementitious Materials, investigates all the aspects related to calcined clays, from clay exploration and characterization to calcination process, hydration reactions and concrete prope ...
SPRINGER2022Two-dimensional atomically bridged nanoporous silicate-based membranes for gas separation
The synthesis of molecular-sieving two-dimensional zeolitic membranes by the assembly of crystalline building blocks without resorting to the secondary growth process is highly desirable. The precise pore size for molecular sieving, ultrathin thickness, an ...
EPFL2022Reinforcing hydrogels with in situ formed amorphous CaCO3
Esther Amstad, Matteo Hirsch, Ran Zhao, Tianyu Yuan, Huachuan Du, Michael David Kessler
Hydrogels are often employed for tissue engineering and moistening applications. However, they are rarely used for load-bearing purposes because of their limited stiffness and the stiffness-toughness compromise inherent to them. By contrast, nature uses hy ...
ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY2022The impact of calcite impurities in clays containing kaolinite on their reactivity in cement after calcination
Karen Scrivener, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva, Emmanuelle Boehm Courjault
The use of supplementary cementitious materials as a partial replacement for Portland cement is the most effective way to reduce the carbon footprint of the concrete industry. Raw clays containing kaolinite (kaolin) are promising substitute materials. In t ...
SPRINGER2020Limestone calcined clay cements (LC3): raw material processing, sulfate balance and hydration kinetics
Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva
Limestone calcined clay cements (LC3) are blended cements that combine clinker, limestone, calcined clay and gypsum. The availability of the materials required to produce LC3 and the good performance that it achieves, makes LC3 suitable as a sustainable re ...
EPFL2020The Influence of some calcined clays from Nigeria as clinker substitute in cementitious systems
Karen Scrivener, François Henri Avet, Akindehinde Ayotunde Akindahunsi
This paper examines the possibility of the use of some clays calcined from Nigeria as partial substitutes for clinker in the production of Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3). The clays were calcined in the oven at a temperature of 800 degrees C and for o ...
