Abstract

This chapter aims to give a brief introduction into the field of alkali activated materials (AAM) and their physicochemical material behavior when exposed to sulfuric acid and in biochemically aggressive sewer environments. Additionally, the differences in material behavior within chemical (abiotic) and microbially induced acid environments are highlighted. Finally, existing data on overall performance of AAM, compared to conventional concrete-based building materials in sewer systems will be discussed.
