  1. Geo-tiles: manufacturing tiles from copper mine tailings using geopolymerisation by Makole, Karabo

    Published 2025
    “…An ecological limitation of and key improvement recommendation for this technique is to increase the quantity of waste material it repurposes as feedstock. Geopolymerisation presents a promising path to redress the ecological limitations of tile manufacturing as it both operates at low temperature (<210°C) and can utilise a feedstock comprising waste. …”
