In this paper, we report the results of our investigation on the possibility of producing foam concrete by using a geopolymer system. Class C fly ash was mixed with an alkaline activator solution (a mixture of sodium ...

The properties of metakaolin geopolymer paste are affected by the alkali concentration, the initial raw materials, solidification process, and amount of mixing water as well as the curing conditions. This study aimed to ...

Aggregates are popular for use in concrete and lightweight concrete applications. Recent research shows that the by-product materials such as fly ash can be used as raw material in producing aggregates and lightweight ...

Kaolin geopolymers exhibit low strength properties due to its plate-like nature which contribute to smaller surface area for geopolymerization reactions. Layered kaolin structure only allows very little, if any, substitution ...

This paper reports the results of an experimental work conducted to investigate the effect of curing conditions on the properties of fly ash-based geopolymer bricks prepared by using fly ash as base material and combination ...

The application of geopolymer has been expand in many areas where before this it only used for the production of cement and concrete. One of the new applications of geopolymer is for coating. Metakaolin, fly ash and ...

This paper investigates the effect of S/L and alkali activator ratios on the synthesis of geopolymeric powder. Geopolymeric powder was synthesized by applying geopolymerization process. By adopting the concept of "just ...

Abstract This paper aimed at investigating the possibility of calcined kaolin to produce cement powder that could be an alternative to Portland cement by applying geopolymerization process. Cement paste was firstly made ...

This paper aims at investigating the influence of solidification condition on the processing of calcined kaolin geopolymeric powder. This is a new process developed using the geopolymerization process. Geopolymer slurry ...

The compressive strength and microstructural characteristics of fly ash based geopolymer with alkaline activator solution were investigated. The sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate were mixed together to form an alkaline ...
