Scope
Contributions are welcome on the development, characterization, processing and application of sustainable geomaterials for construction and environmental engineering. Topics may include, but are not limited to: natural and engineered aggregates; lightweight and porous aggregates; clays and clay-based materials; ceramics and glass; cementitious and low-carbon binders; alkali-activated materials and geopolymers; zeolites and other mineral-based materials; recycled and waste-derived geomaterials; and hybrid or multifunctional systems. Contributions addressing the valorization of industrial, agricultural and construction wastes, alternative raw materials, material processing and manufacturing, mineralogical, chemical, physical and microstructural characterization, mechanical behavior, durability and environmental performance are particularly encouraged. Environmental applications such as adsorption, pollutant immobilization, water treatment and reactive barriers are also within the scope. Life-cycle assessment, environmental impact evaluation, modelling, scale-up and pilot- or field-scale applications are welcome, together with both experimental and theoretical approaches.
