Fe-bearing magnesium silicate glasses for potential supplementary cementitious applications by Chuqing Jiang, Hellen Silva Santos, Juho Yliniemi, Johan Lindén, D. D. Ramteke, Mirja Illikainen, Christopher Cheeseman, Paivo Kinnunen

“…However, their global supply is insufficient to meet the growing market demand for cement and concrete, being essential to develop alternative SCMs based on abundant waste streams and low-cost resources. Fe-bearing Mg-based glasses are promising candidates with the potential to utilize high-volume feedstocks rich in Fe and Mg, but their effectiveness relies on deep understanding of the relationship between glass composition, reactivity, and pozzolanic properties. …”
