Sustainable management of water potabilization sludge by means of geopolymers production

Alumina-containing water potabilization sludge (WPS) is one of the main wastes produced by reservoir management activities. This kind of residues, deriving from treatment processes for water potabilization, recently attracted great attention as starting raw material in the production of innovative building materials. In this study, the use of WPS as aluminosilicate source for the synthesis of geopolymers has been investigated. In particular, two...
