The utilization of silicomanganese slag (SiMnS) as a precursor for alkali-activated materials (AAMs) is considered an efficient approach sustainable and eco-friendly large-scale resource utilization. However, sodium silicate solutions account more than 50% the production costs carbon emissions AAMs. In this study, AAM activators were prepared by silica-containing waste (acid leaching residue boron mud, BM-AR) NaOH raw materials, successfully substituted commercial silicate-NaOH activators. Results indicated that dosage had great effect on concentration modulus activator. With appropriate (NaOH: BM-AR = 0.4–0.7), suitable moduli can be produced at wide range solid/liquid ratios (L/S 3–4.5) under mild conditions (80–100 °C). compressive strength SiMnS specimens activator reach 68.58 MPa, its hydration products mainly hydrated calcium amorphous silica–alumina gel, indicating successful preparation AAM. Calculation showed emission AAMs in study was 12.4% 37.6% OPC water glass/NaOH-activated AAMs, cost only 67.14% 60.78% them. process achieves use to replace activators, expected extended variety waste. This makes it highly promising alternative method particularly ‘just add water’
