Liang, Xuhui (author), Dong, Hua (author), Li, Zhenming (author), van Zijl, Marc Brito (author), Ye, Guang (author)This paper investigated the feasibility of using biomass fly ash (BFA) to prepare alkaliactivated slag and fly ash paste. The reference mixture was alkali-activated slag and coal fly ash (CFA) paste with a slag-to-coal fly ash ratio of 50/50. In other mixtures, coal fly ash was replaced at 40% and 100% with BFA, respectively. The results showed...conference paper 2021
