Distribution of Perlite Reserves Worldwide

Due to global warming, many sectors have discovered sustainable methods. Many studies have been conducted in various sectors to reduce carbon emissions. Cement production in the construction sector causes an enormous carbon emission, and to put an end to this situation, pozzolan-added concrete, which is called green concrete, has been put into use instead of concrete produced with Portland cement. One of the materials used in the production of these green concretes is perlite. This study is a literature review of the perlite mine. The situation of perlite mines in Turkey and the world has been researched. According to the results of experimental studies, it has been tried to explain how perlite can be used as a substitute for artificial pozzolan, at what stages it is made ready for the construction sector, and why it is of great importance for our country.
