Sustainable application of cenospheres in cementitious materials – Overview of performance
Cenospheres are waste products generated from the production of power from coal combustions. These wastes can be incorporated into cementitious materials to produce lightweight materials. In addition, the incorporation of these wastes can be used to improve the thermal and acoustic properties of cem...
