UFS working on developing green concrete using geopolymer binders

The University of the Free State (UFS) Department of Engineering Sciences' green concrete project aims to produce user-friendly geopolymer concrete by eliminating aggressive alkali activator additives from the mixtures, says lecturer and project leader Dr Abdolhossein Naghizadeh. The potential product will be formulated by optimising mixture parameters and ingredients based on the South African industrial by-products. The green concrete project involves research aimed at producing environment-friendly concrete based on industrial waste materials.
