Integration of fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag into palm oil fuel ash based geopolymer concrete: a review by Ying Yi Tan, Hanizam Awang, Noor Haida Mohd Kaus

“…The increase demand for building materials, particularly concrete, has resulted in overproduction of ordinary portland cement (OPC) and consequent significant release of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. For addressing these issues, alternative innovative and sustainable materials, such as geopolymer concrete, which utilised waste materials as binding agents have been introduced, leading to a reduction in CO2 emissions. …”

Monte Carlo Simulation and Exact Statistical Mechanical Lattice Models as a Development Tool for Zeolite Multi-Component Adsorption Isotherm Derivation by G. Manos, L.J. Dunne, S. Jalili, A. Furgani, T. Neville

“…This approach has been applied to the adsorption isotherms of selective binary and ternary mixtures of small alkanes (methane, ethane) and carbon dioxide adsorbed in silicalite. The lattice model results are shown to have the potential, when suitably parameterized, to rapidly and cheaply reproduce the main features of the much more expensive Monte Carlo isotherms over a very wide range of mixture compositions, temperatures and pressures.…”
