Preface

Extensive studies have been reported to improve various unpleasant characteristics of cement-based composites, aiming at efficient utilization of these novel materials, especially in the case of solidification/stabilization of hazardous waste. This book shows how cement, one of the key materials for sustainable economic and environmental development in different global regions, can be purposefully modified and implemented. It shows that smart and sustainable methods are needed to make such innovative processes economical while at the same time maximizing environmental

The authors have summarized their experience and present advances in relevant fields related to assessing the strategies of sustainable applications of the cement

The book contains twelve chapters, organized in four sections that cover important research aspects of the cement industry related to its optimization, characterization, and sustainable application. The first section includes the introductory chapter prepared by the editor to present a brief background on the cement industry.
