Alkali-activated binders produced from phosphate-derived clay and natural pozzolan: effect of precursor composition on phase evolution, microstructural development and mechanical performance

This study investigates the alkali activation of thermally treated Moroccan yellow clay derived from phosphate mining residues and natural volcanic pozzolan from the Middle Atlas as sustainable aluminosilicate precursors for geopolymer binder production. Following calcination, ca...
