Desert areas pose challenges for building construction due to extreme temperatures, low humidity, and water scarcity. These factors contribute to the rapid drying of self-bonding materials, leading to poor stability of materials. This study aims to address these issues through a novel approach involving the collaborative utilization of natural aeolian sand (NAS) and secondary aluminum dross (SAD) for the synthesis of self-bonding materials. By utilizing CaO as an alkali activator, NAS, and SAD are subjected to mechanical grinding, leading to the successful production of self-bonding materials ...
