Reviews on the different sources materials to the geopolymer performance

Abstract

Geopolymer is manufactured from the aluminosilicate source material in example fly ash, silica fume, kaolin, ground granulate blast slag (GGBS), boiler ash and volcano ash reactivated via alkaline solution. But the different types of source materials in geopolymer that rich with alumina, silica and calcium can give an effect on correlation, geopolymer strength and porosity. The different contents of alumina, silica and calcium can give different performance of geopolymer. Therefore the improvement geopolymer performance is based on varying parameters which are source materials content, alkaline activators types, and the curing method; thus producing a high strength concrete with less continuous pores.
