Innovative Geopolymer Production from Waste: Latvia's Resource Potential

This project explores utilizing Latvia's abundant natural resources, including timber and various fiber materials, for producing geopolymers. With a focus on waste materials, the research aims to identify sustainable solutions for construction materials. The kickoff meeting in Krakow will outline Latvia's key resources and the physical properties of selected fibers. The project investigates the use of wood, cereal, and rapeseed fibers for reinforcement, considering their availability and properties. By examining the stiffness and strength of different fibers, the research seeks to create durable and eco-friendly construction materials. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting initiative in material science!

  1. JānisŠliseris Senior Researcher, Dr.Sc.Ing. Informationabout the project works – possibilities of waste materials/ country resources possible to use for the production of geopolymers Project («ELAC2015/T02-0721»)kick-off meeting, Krakow, Poland, 11.04.2017

  2. Outline • Main natural resources in Latvia • Possible materials for reinforcement • Physical properties of selected fibers

  3. Main natural resources in Latvia Around 334 m3 timber available for each citizen.

  4. Possible materials for reinforcement • Candidates for natural fiber reinforcement of waste: • Wood fibers (Pine 49%, spruce 22%, Birch 24%) • Cereal fibers (rye, oats, barley, wheat, buckwheat) • Rapeseed fibers • Main wood products: • Lumber (around 60%*)- a lot of saw-dust waste produced! • Plywood (around 20%*) • Glulam beams • CLT plates *data from :http://www.lbas.lv/upload/stuff/201206/kokrupnieciba_2012_pet.pdf
