China is the largest producer and user of Ordinary Silicate Cement (OPC), and rapid infrastructure development requires more sustainable building materials for concrete structures. Portland cement emits large amounts of CO in production. Given proposals for "carbon peaking and carbon neutralization", it is extremely important to study alternative low-carbon cementitious materials to reduce emissions. Alkali-activated slag (AAS) cement, a new green cementitious material, has high application potential. The chemical corrosion resistance of AAS concrete is important for ensuring durability and prolonging service life. This paper reviews the hydration mechanism of AAS concrete and discusses the composition of hydration products on this basis, examines the corrosion mechanism of AAS concrete in acid, sulfate, and seawater environments, and reviews the impact of its performance due to the corrosion of AAS concrete in different solutions. Further in-depth understanding of its impact on the performance of concrete can provide an important theoretical basis for its use in different environments and provides an important theoretical basis for the application of AAS concrete, so that we can have a certain understanding of the durability of AAS concrete.

This study aimed to examine the effect of various live foods on the fatty acids (FAs) and amino acids (AAs) profiles in Persian sturgeon () larvae. One thousand and two hundred larvae were cultured in circular concrete tanks, and four treatments were administered as: (1) + , (2) , (3) + Chironomid, and (4) Chironomid. Each treatment was considered as three replicates over an 11-day period.

Previous studies highlighted the significance of tailoring alkaline activators (AA) to specific fly ash (FA) sources for optimal properties of geopolymer concrete (GPC). This study examines the influence of various AA's properties on mechanical properties and microstructures of local low-calcium FA-based GPC under varying curing conditions. A comprehensive investigation consists of several factors such as NaOH molarities (10 M, 12 M, 14 M, 16 M), ratios (1.

In the realm of sustainable construction materials, the quest for low-environmental-impact binders has gained momentum. Addressing the global demand for concrete, several alternatives have been proposed to mitigate the carbon footprint associated with traditional Portland cement production. Despite technological advancements, property inconsistencies and cost considerations, the wholesale replacement of Portland cement remains a challenge.

In this research, the results of an experimental study on the use of three alternative components for creating artificial aggregates (AAs) (granules) and their usage in 3D-printed concrete (3DPC) are examined. This study combines AAs made from organic components like hemp shives (HSs), pyrolyzed coal (charcoal), waste/municipal solid waste incinerator bottom slag (BS), and a mix of a reference 3DPC with the aforementioned AAs. Particularly, to enhance these properties to make low-carbon 3DPC, in this research, the potential of using AAs as lightweight aggregates was increased to 14% in terms of the mass of the concrete.
