   摘要：This report will introduce the most recent development of scientific research on AACs and the critical issues in their development. The formation of alkali activated cements (AACs) is based on the reaction between the two parts of materials: alkali activator and reactive aluminasilicate precursors, which are mainly slag, fly ash and calcined clays. Alkaline activating solution is an alkali metal hydroxide, silicate solution and in most cases, their mixture. AACs are generally reported to be much more sustainable than Portland cement, in terms of reduced production energy requirement and lower CO₂emissions.

   报告人简介：Dr Zuhua Zhang graduated from Nanjing Tech University and the University of Southern Queensland, received two doctoral awards on the research of civil engineering materials, and worked as research fellow and senior research fellow at the University of Southern Queensland. He received the title of “Recruitment Programme of Global Young Experts” and is perform research at Hunan University. Dr Zhang has made substantial progress on AACs and contributed in the directions of lightweight fire-resistant materials, thermodynamic stability of AACs, the reactivity assessment of aluminasilicate materials and standardization and the efflorescence theory of AACs. He received several projects from Australian Research Council and received the DECRA award in 2016, and the Research Excellence Award from USQ. In 2017 he received the Endeavour Researcher title and worked at the University of Sheffield. He has published 50 quality journal papers, with 40 SCI papers and 8 hottest papers in journals such as Cement and Concrete Research, Cement and Concrete Composites and Construction and Building Materials.
