High-Volume Mineral Admixtures in Cementitious Binders: Towards Carbon-Neutral Construction delivers an overview of the broad applications of high-volume supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) in cementitious binders, addressing the most promising ways to use them to reduce carbon emissions in the construction and building industry. This book focuses on the applications and scientific challenges of high-volume SCMs blends, elaborating on the possibilities as well as offering original perspectives on using different kinds of blended cements in the manufacturing process. Emphasis is placed on activity estimation and quality assessment, the properties of high-volume SCM-blends at both the fresh and hardened stages, self-hydraulic properties, and potential use as the sole binder, as well as associated environmental impacts and carbon footprint reduction.

Prof. Tsang is the leading scientist in the fields of waste-to-resource technology, hazardous waste treatment, and carbon capture and utilization. Over the years, Dan has published more than 500 peer-reviewed papers in the top 10% journals, including 88 Highly Cited Papers as of March 2022. He was awarded as 2021-2023 Highly Cited Researcher (Clarivate Analytics) in two academic fields of Engineering as well as Environment and Ecology. He is the Chairman of the Hong Kong Waste Management Association, and the Waste Management Subcommittee of Advisory Council on the Environment, HKSAR Government. He has been invited to deliver more than 160 invited talks at international conferences and invited seminars at overseas universities. His professional contribution has been recognized by local and international communities, and he has served as the Editor-in-Chief, npj Materials Sustainability, Nature Portfolio (2023-), the Associate Editors for the top 10% journals, such as Science of the Total Environment (2018-2024), Critical Reviews in Environmental Science & Technology (2018-), Journal of Environmental Management (2022-), Journal of Hazardous Materials (2019-2021); and served as Editorial Boards for Bioresource Technology (2019-), Environmental Pollution (2019-), Chemosphere (2015-), etc. Dr. Zhu is currently the EBI-Shell fellow at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of California, Berkeley. He received his PhD from the University of Leeds with a thesis on the topic of morphological and structural changes of C-S-H. He has rich experience in the study of cementitious materials and published more than 50 papers in the Top Journals in this field. In the Ph.D. thesis, he explained the root causes for the morphological changes of C-A-S-H gel in the presence of high-volume supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) at the atomic level. With the experimental observations from SS NMR and TEM-EDX, the structural-dependent nature of C-A-S-H gel in blended cements is revealed. He will take the tenured academic position at the Beijing University of Technology at the end of 2024.
