Influence of Thermal Activation and Silica Modulus on the Properties of Clayey-Lateritic Based Geopolymer Binders Cured at Room Temperature

Silicon - In this study, a laterite soil which is a locally available material in many parts of the world was used as the aluminosilicate precursor. The main objective of this study is to...     

Effect of Combined Metakaolin and Basalt Powder Additions to Laterite-Based Geopolymers Activated by Rice Husk Ash (RHA)/NaOH Solution

Silicon - The present study deals with the use of locally prepared rice husk ash (RHA)-based sodium silicate for alkaline activation of laterites (uncalcined (LNW) and calcined (LCA)). RHA-based...     

Synthesis of Volcanic Ash‐based Porous Inorganic Polymers Using Biomass as Pore Inducing Agent: Phase Evolution and Descriptive Microstructure

Silicon - In the present study, multi-scale sized porous inorganic polymers were produced by alkaline activation of volcanic ash. Rice husk ash, an agricultural biomass, was used both in the...     

Structural and Physico-mechanical Investigations of Mine Tailing-Calcined Kaolinite Based Phosphate Geopolymer Binder

Silicon - This work explores the possibility of using Mine tailing (MT) as a feedstock in the synthesis of phosphate geopolymer binder. MT was activated at different concentrations of phosphoric...
