The construction industry’s heavy reliance on silica-based chemical grouts, produced through energy-intensive processes, contributes substantially to global carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions.

Researchers have developed a new grout—colloidal silica recovered from geothermal fluids (CSRGF)—that significantly enhances ...

However, traditional grouting methods, which rely on silica-based chemical grouts and energy-intensive processes, have significant environmental drawbacks, including high carbon dioxide (CO 2 ...
