| Abstract | The first objective of this experimental study is the assessment of the alkali activation potential of two types of fayalitic slags, an as-received one (FS) and the one obtained after plasma treatment (FSP) of the initial FS, for the production of alkali activated materials (AAMs). Furthermore, the second objective is the elucidation of the co-valorization potential of FS and FSP slags when mixed with ferronickel (FeNi) slag (LS). The alkaline activating solution used was a mixture of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium silicate (Na2SiO3). The effect of various operating parameters, such as H2O/Na2O and SiO2/Na2O ratios present in the activating solution, curing temperature, curing period and ageing period on the compressive strength, density, water adsorption, porosity and toxicity of the produced AAMs was explored. The structural integrity of selected AAMs was investigated after firing specimens for 6 h at temperature up to 500 degrees C, immersion in distilled water and acidic solution or subjection to freeze-thaw cycles for a period of 7 or 30 days. The results of this study show that FS- and FSP-based AAMs acquire compressive strength of 44.8 MPa and 27.2 MPa, respectively. When FS and FSP were mixed with LS at 50:50%wt ratios the compressive strength of the produced specimens increased to 64.3 MPa and 45.8 MPa, respectively. Furthermore, selected AAMs produced after co-valorisation of slags retained sufficient compressive strength after firing at 500 degrees C, 45-68MPa, and exhibited very lowtoxicity. These findings prove the alkali activation potential of fayalitic slags aswell as their co-valorizationwith ferronickel slag for the production of AAMs, an approach which is in line with the principles of zero-waste and circular economy.
