Grinding High-Modulus Natural Silicate: Impacts on Embodied Energy in Geopolymer Cement Production Using WASPAS Method
Abstract
The properties of geopolymer bricks are significantly affected by the raw material composition, the proportions of alkaline solutions and the level of sodium hydroxide concentration. Several experiments focused on increasing the strength, hardening and durability of bricks Contribute to the advancement of energy-efficient and environment-friendly solutions. Switching from traditional Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) to industrial concrete derived from plant-based materials and wastes offers many benefits, such as reduced environmental impact through lower CO2 emissions and reduced reliance on virgin resources. The construction industry, which uses a disproportionate amount of raw materials and generates substantial waste, has benefited significantly from innovations in materials science. Eco Mix, Green Bind, Geo Lite, Terra Bond, Enviro Crete. Energy Consumption (MJ/ton), CO2 Emissions (kg CO2/ton), Production Efficiency (%), Material Cost Savings (%). The results indicate that GeoLite achieved the highest rank, while GreenBind had the lowest rank being attained. “The value of the dataset Energy Efficiency in Geopolymer Production, according to the Vaspass method, GeoLite achieves the highest ranking.”
