ABOUT ME
For almost 10 years, I have been studying binder chemistry with a focus on conventional OPC-based binders and novel carbonate-based binders produced by accelerated carbonation. For the past 6 years, my focus has been to use this knowledge to utilize industrial by-products as construction materials. In this context, I have worked with by-products from mining, metallurgy, pulp/paper, incineration, etc.
