Correia et al. [98] studied geopolymer matrix composites based on metakaolin reinforced with sisal fibers (Agave sisalana) and pineapple leaf fibers (Ananas comosus). The authors used for both fibers 3% by volume and 25mm of length in the composites. After addition of the fibers in the geopolymer slurry, the material was cured at 55 °C for 24 ...

 · X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to observe the compound change law of geopolymer reaction and the hydration reaction of calcium silicate by adjusting the molar ratio of SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3, CaO/Al 2 O 3 and Na 2 O/Al 2 O 3 in the geopolymer. Then the compound synergistic effect of geopolymer reaction and …

 · In this study, phosphate-based geopolymers obtained from two aluminosilicate precursors with different mineralogical compositions were investigated. The used experimental methods were X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, atomic absorption measurements and experimental designs.

The process of obtaining the geopolymers consists in the dissolution of Al and Si in alkaline medium. The alkaline solution is composed of soluble cations. Usually sodium or potassium based, the most commonly used being sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or potassium hydroxide (KOH), often combined with sodium or potassium silicate.

 · Geopolymer is a material with pozzolan characteristic which can come from nature or artificially made. Pozzolan characteristic material contain silica (SiO 2) and alumina (Al 2 O 3) (Davidovits, 2008).Both compounds can be found in nature (such as metakaolin and volcanic material) or in human activities waste (fly ash and ash from rice processing).

 · Geopolymer concrete can be considered as an innovative and alternative material to traditional Portland cement concrete. Use of fly ash as a raw material minimizes the waste production of thermal power plants and protects the environment. Geopolymer concretes have high early strength and resistant to an aggressive atmosphere.

Geopolymer has been applied in a great many fields such as cement and concrete, fire-proof material, heavy metal immobilization because of its excellent properties. In recent years, the additives such as fibers, carbon …

1  · The starting ingredients for the synthesis of geopolymers can be synthetic, natural aluminosilicate minerals, or industrial aluminosilicate wastes such as slags, waste glass, FA, or rice husk ash. The raw materials and the activator media are typically blended for 10-15 min before being put into a mold.

 · Mine tailing is mineral waste produced by the beneficiation process of ore (washing and flotation). A series of problems appear from the storage and disposal of mine tailing, such as the occupation of large areas of land, contamination of surface and underground water by toxic metal leachates, as well as air pollution due to dust …
