Effect of nano silica and fine silica sand on compressive strength of sodium and potassium activators synthesised fly ash geopolymer at elevated temperatures

Environment friendly geopolymer is a new binder which gained increased popularity due to its better mechanical properties, durability, chemical resistance, and fire resistance. This paper presents the effect of nano silica and fine silica sand on residual compressive strength of sodium and potassium based activators synthesised fly ash geopolymer at elevated temperatures. Six different series of both sodium and potassium activators synthesised geopolymer were cast using partial replacement of fly ash with 1%, 2%, and 4% nano silica and 5%, 10%, and 20% fine silica sand. The samples were heated at 200°C, 400°C, 600°C, and 800°C at a heating rate 5°C per minute, and the residual compressive strength, volumetric shrinkage, mass loss, and cracking behaviour of each series of samples are also measured in this paper. Results show that, among 3 different NS contents, the 2% nano silica by wt. exhibited the highest residual compressive strength at all temperatures in both sodium and potassium‐based activators synthetised geopolymer. The measured mass loss and volumetric shrinkage are also lowest in both geopolymers containing 2% nano silica among all nano silica contents. Results also show that although the unexposed compressive strength of potassium‐based geopolymer containing nano silica is lower than its sodium‐based counterpart, the rate of increase of residual compressive strength exposed to elevated temperatures up to 400°C of potassium‐based geopolymer containing nano silica is much higher. It is also observed that the measured residual compressive strengths of potassium based geopolymer containing nano silica exposed at all temperatures up to 800°C are higher than unexposed compressive strength, which was not the case in its sodium‐based counterpart. However, in the case of geopolymer containing fine silica sand, an opposite phenomenon is observed, and 10% fine silica sand is found to be the optimum content with some deviations. Quantitative X‐ray diffraction analysis also shows higher amorphous content in both geopolymers containing nano silica at elevated temperatures than those containing fine silica sand.     

偏高岭土-矿渣-磷渣地聚合物配比性能的研究

通过正交实验的方法,以地聚合物稠度、凝结时间、胶砂强度为研究依据,以偏高岭土、矿渣、磷渣、碱激发剂用量为研究对象,每个因素取3个水平,分析4个因素在各自水平上对地聚合物性能的影响。试验结果表明,偏高岭土用量是地聚合物稠度的最主要影响因素;偏高岭土和碱激发剂用量是初凝时间的主要影响因素,磷渣和偏高岭土用量是终凝时间的主要影响因素;偏高岭土用量是3 d 抗压强度的主要影响因素,矿渣用量是28 d 抗压强度的主要影响因素。按30%偏高岭土-40%矿渣-30%磷渣-10%碱激发剂制备的地聚合物具有良好的抗碳化性能,但收缩率较普通硅酸盐水泥高。

Compressive strength of fly‐ash‐based geopolymer concrete at elevated temperatures

This paper presents the compressive strength of fly‐ash‐based geopolymer concretes at elevated temperatures of 200, 400, 600 and 800 °C. The source material used in the geopolymer concrete in this study is low‐calcium fly ash according to ASTM C618 class F classification and is activated by sodium silicate (Na₂SiO₃) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solutions. The effects of molarities of NaOH, coarse aggregate sizes, duration of steam curing and extra added water on the compressive strength of geopolymer concrete at elevated temperatures are also presented. The results show that the fly‐ash‐based geopolymer concretes exhibited steady loss of its original compressive strength at all elevated temperatures up to 400 °C regardless of molarities and coarse aggregate sizes. At 600 °C, all geopolymer concretes exhibited increase of compressive strength relative to 400 °C. However, it is lower than that measured at ambient temperature. Similar behaviour is also observed at 800 °C, where the compressive strength of all geopolymer concretes are lower than that at ambient temperature, with only exception of geopolymer concrete containing 10 m NaOH. The compressive strength in the latter increased at 600 and 800 °C. The geopolymer concretes containing higher molarity of NaOH solution (e.g. 13 and 16 m ) exhibit greater loss of compressive strength at 800 °C than that of 10 m NaOH. The geopolymer concrete containing smaller size coarse aggregate retains most of the original compressive strength of geopolymer concrete at elevated temperatures. The addition of extra water adversely affects the compressive strength of geopolymer concretes at all elevated temperatures. However, the extended steam curing improves the compressive strength at elevated temperatures. The Eurocode EN1994:2005 to predict the compressive strength of fly‐ash‐based geopolymer concretes at elevated temperatures agrees well with the measured values up to 400 °C.

Synthesis of tubular silica fiber via all-aqueous microfluidics for geopolymer regulation

Lightweight hollow ceramic microfibers/microparticles hold promising prospects in numerous applications. To date, it remains a challenge to develop a fabrication strategy that well balances product quality and efficiency. In this article, an all-aqueous microfluidic method was proposed to prepare tubular polymeric fiber as the preceramic template. The relevant dimensional parameters could be promptly regulated via simple flow rate control. This approach could serve as a general technical route to preparing different kinds of ceramics by switching the types of nanoparticles. Here, silica nanoparticles were introduced and the ceramic microfiber could be got via calcination. Afterward, the tubular silica microfiber was employed to synthesize geopolymer composite by mold casting. The chemically formed interfacial bonding between the silica microfiber and geopolymer matrix was confirmed by elemental analysis. The addition of 10% volume fraction silica microfiber could not only increase the flexural modulus of geopolymer composite by 3.5 times but also effectively inhibited crack propagation under thermal circumstances.     

Production and thermomechanical characterization of wool–geopolymer composites

Load‐bearing and thermal insulating wool waste/geopolymer composites with fire‐resistant properties were produced and characterized. Two formulations, with different amounts of wool fibers, corresponding in the final composites to about 23 vol% and 31 vol%, were tested. The composites exhibited an average density of 1.0 g/cm³, with a thermal conductivity of 0.2 W/mK, and compressive and flexural strength around 9 and 5 MPa, respectively. The flexural strength and fracture behavior were improved by the presence of the fibers, which promoted the onset of a toughening mechanism in the material. Results showed that a geopolymer matrix loaded with 23 vol% of wool fibers is suitable as flame‐resistant barrier, as reaction to fire is in class A2 (UNI‐EN 13501‐1), and as insulating structural partition in buildings because it ensures a consistent load‐bearing ability coupled with thermal insulating properties, similarly to other man‐made fiber products, with a considerable gain in terms of cost and environmental impact.     

Mechanical,thermal, morphological,and curing properties of geopolymer filled natural rubber composites

The main objective of this work was to investigate influence of natural rubber (NR) types on mechanical, thermal, morphological, and curing properties together with relaxation behavior of geopolymer filled NR composites with and without bis(triethoxysilylpropyl) tetrasulfide (TESPT) silane coupling agent. Three alternative types of NR: unmodified NR, and epoxidized NR with 25 (ENR-25) or 50 mol % epoxide (ENR-50) were exploited. Rubber compounds filled with GP particles were prepared in an internal mixer at 60 °C and 130–150 °C for the ones with and without TESPT, respectively. It was found that incorporation of GP significantly affected cure characteristics and mechanical properties of the rubber composites. That is, decreasing cure time was observed from 11.6, 3.2, and 7.0 min in gum NR, ENR-25, and ENR-50 to 6.9, 2.1, and 5.0 min in NR/GP, ENR-25/GP, and ENR-50/GP compounds, respectively. Furthermore, the ENR-25/GP and ENR-50/GP composites showed finely dispersed GP particles which indicate high filler–rubber interactions. The in situ silanization with TESPT in rubber composites enhanced the mechanical properties of NR/GP and ENR-25/GP composites but no such enhancement was found in the ENR-50/GP composite. This matched the observations of Payne effect, maximum tan δ, and stress relaxation properties of the composites. We found that the ENR-25/GP composites exhibited the best overall properties. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2019 , 136, 47346.     

Thermal conductivity of several geopolymer composites and discussion of their formulation

We fabricated 50.8-mm cube-shaped samples of metakaolin geopolymer (GP) composites with various additives chosen to increase or decrease the thermal conductivity of the composite. Sodium-based GP (NaGP) and GP composites were more conductive than potassium-based GP (KGP) composites for a given phase fraction of filler, but the maximum amount of filler phase was higher with KGP due to the lower viscosity of the KGP mixture. The highest thermal conductivity achieved was about 8 W/m K by KGP + 44-vol% graphite flakes, whereas NaGP + 27 vol% graphite flakes reached 4.7 W/m K. The thermal conductivity was strongly affected by the moisture remaining in the composite, which appeared to have a greater effect at higher filler content. On the other hand, the size of alumina particles (6, 40, or 120 μm) did not have any apparent effect on thermal conductivity for the same filler content. Larger particles caused less change in mixture viscosity, though, thus permitting incorporation of higher filler phase fractions and therefore higher thermal conductivity.

Mechanical properties of composites from sawdust and recycled plastics

Mechanical properties of wood plastic composites (WPCs) manufactured from sawdust and virgin and/or recycled plastics, namely high density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP), were studied. Sawdust was prepared from beech industrial sawdust by screening to the desired particle size and was mixed with different virgin or recycled plastics at 50% by weight fiber loading. The mixed materials were then compression molded into panels. Flexural and tensile properties and impact strength of the manufactured WPCs were determined according to the relevant standard specifications. Although composites containing PP (virgin and recycled) exhibited higher stiffness and strength than those made from HDPE (virgin and recycled), they had lower unnotched impact strengths. Mechanical properties of specimens containing recycled plastics (HDPE and PP) were statistically similar and comparable to those of composites made from virgin plastics. This was considered as a possibility to expand the use of recycled plastics in the manufacture of WPCs. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 100: 3641–3645, 2006     

Influence of recycled sand and gravel on the rheological and mechanical characteristic of concrete

The objective of this paper is to investigate the influence of type and dosage of recycled sand (RS) and gravel on the fresh and mechanical properties of concrete. Experimental program was conducted on concretes made with different ratio of substitutions (15, 30, 70, and 100%) of natural sand and gravel with RS and gravel. At the fresh state, slump, air content, and density were measured at the exit of the mixer, and then at 30, 60, and 90 min after mixing. Tests were also performed for compressive strength at the age of 1, 7, and 28 days, whereas elastic modulus measurements were done at 28 days. The results indicated that maintaining the workability of recycled aggregate concrete depends on sand or gravel substitution and their rates. Up to 30 min, slump values were decreased, but after that, no substantial change in slump values was observed. Air content increased and density decreased, with increasing recycled aggregate content (sand or gravel). Mechanical properties, such as compressive strength and modulus of elasticity, were lower than those of reference concrete.

Synthesis and thermal behavior of inorganic–organic hybrid geopolymer composites

Inorganic geopolymer potassium aluminosilicate was prepared at room temperature by the reaction of kaolin, potassium silicate, and potassium hydroxide solution and was dispersed in situ into an epoxy matrix by various proportions to fabricate novel inorganic–organic hybrid geopolymer composites. The formation of inorganic geopolymer with respect to time was monitored by X‐ray diffraction and FT‐IR analysis and confirmed that 30 min is required to complete the geopolymerization. When geopolymers were properly mixed at different ratios with organic polymers such as epoxy and cured, these hybrid polymers exhibit significant thermal stability. Pure kaolin was also incorporated into the epoxy matrix to compare the change in chemical and thermal properties. Cone calorimetry results showed about 27% decreased in rate of heat release (RHR) on addition of 20% pure kaolin. However, about 57% of RHR was decreased on addition of only 20% geopolymer. Evaluation of CO₂ and CO were found to be minimum 2.0 and 0.7 kg/kg, respectively, for hybrid geopolymer composites compared to very high yield for epoxy at 3.5 kg/kg after 200 s of ignition. The current study shows that due to the high thermal stability of hybrid geopolymer composites, the novel hybrid geopolymer composites have the ability to be potential candidates to use in practical application where fire is of great concern. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Mechanical characterization of lightweight engineered geopolymer composites exposed to elevated temperatures

In this study, the effect of different factors, such as PVA fibers (2% by total volume) and precursor type (slag, fly ash, or a combination of both), on the behavior of green lightweight engineered geopolymer composites (LEGC) and lightweight engineered cementitious composites (LECC) after exposure to temperatures up to 800 °C for 1 h is investigated. Expanded glass granules were used as lightweight aggregate instead of silica sand to reduce the spalling tendency and density of the composite. The flowability, density, color change, mass loss, spalling resistance, residual mechanical properties (compressive strength, stress-strain diagram, tensile stress-strain diagram, load-deflection response, failure mode), and microstructural analysis (by scanning electron microscopy) were investigated before and after exposure to thermal deterioration. The findings pointed out that the dry density, compressive strength, fiber bridging stress, strain capacity, maximum load, and maximum deflection of the developed mixtures before exposure to fire deterioration were in the range of 1703–1883 kg/m³, 16.66–64.11 MPa, 2.66–4.97 MPa, 2.40–3.33%, 1573–4824 N, and 2.92–5.53 mm respectively. It's worth mentioning that the substitution of 50% slag in the lightweight EGC mixture demonstrated the optimal tensile strain capacity and deformation capacity and further enhanced both ultimate tensile strength and flexural strength of fly ash-based EGC (FA-EGC) mixtures. After heat exposure, both LEGC and LECC composites demonstrated strain hardening behavior and deflection hardening behavior up to 300 °C of heat treatment, while after exposure to a temperature of 300 °C and above, both deflection hardening behavior and strain hardening behavior are dramatically damaged. This is attributable to the melting of the PVA fibers. Also, the microstructural analysis showed that incorporating fly ash into lightweight EGC mixtures can effectively reduce the melting point of PVA fibers and further improve the fire resistance of EGC mixtures.     

Fire resistance of geopolymer concrete produced from Elazığ ferrochrome slag

This paper presents the effect of elevated temperatures up to 700 °C on compressive strength and water absorption of two alkali‐activated aluminosilicate composites (one of them is river sand aggregate geopolymer concrete; the other one is crushed sand aggregate geopolymer concrete) and ordinary Portland cement based concretes. To obtain binding geopolymer material, Elaz?? ferrochrome slag was ground as fine as cement, and then it was alkali activated with chemical (NaOH and Na₂SiO₃). Geopolymer concrete samples were produced by mixing this binding geopolymer material with aggregates. At each target temperature, concrete samples were exposed to fire for the duration of 1 h. Fire resistance and water absorption of geopolymer and ordinary Portland cement concrete samples were determined experimentally. Experimental results indicated that compressive strength of geopolymer concrete samples increased at 100 °C and 300 °C temperatures when compared with unexposed samples. In geopolymer concrete samples, the highest compressive strength was obtained from river aggregates ones at 300 °C with 37.06 MPa. Water absorption of geopolymer concrete samples increased at 700 °C temperature when compared with unexposed samples. However, a slight decrease in water absorption of concrete samples was observed up to 300 °C when compared with unexposed samples. SEM and X‐ray diffraction tests were also carried out to investigate microstructure and mineralogical changes during thermal exposure. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Experimental research on the dynamic compressive properties of lightweight slag based geopolymer

The present study aims at preparing lightweight slag based geopolymer (LW-SG) and studying its mechanical properties under dynamic and quasi-static loads. Firstly, three LW-SG with different densities were prepared by replacing the slag with expanded perlite (EP). Secondly, the density, wave velocity and pore structure of LW-SG with different EP contents were tested. Thirdly, the mechanical properties under quasi-static and dynamic loads were compared. Finally, the effects of the strain rate and EP content on the mechanical properties and failure modes of LW-SG were discussed. The results showed that with the EP contents increase, the dry density and longitudinal wave velocity gradually decreased, while the porosity increased. In addition, the quasi-static compressive strength and elastic modulus of LW-SG increased with curing ages, but decreased with EP contents increased. The dynamic compressive strength, dynamic increase factor, strain energy density and damaged degree of LW-SG all showed an increasing tendency with the strain rates increase, which exhibits an obvious strain rate dependence. Under the same strain rate, the dynamic compressive strength and strain energy density decreased with the EP contents increase, while the damaged degree increased with the EP contents increase.
