The effect of molarity of alkali activator, manufactured sand (M-sand), and quarry dust (QD) on the compressive strength of palm oil fuel ash (POFA) and fly ash (FA) based geopolymer mortar was investigated and reported. The variable investigated includes the quantities of replacement levels of M-sand, QD, and conventional mining sand (N-sand) in two concentrated alkaline solutions; the contents of alkaline solution, water, POFA/FA ratio, and curing condition remained constant. The results show that an average of 76% of the 28-day compressive strength was found at the age of 3 days. The rate of strength development from 3 to 7 days was found between 12 and 16% and it was found much less beyond this period. The addition of 100% M-sand and QD shows insignificant strength reduction compared to mixtures with 100% N-sand. The particle angularity and texture of fine aggregates played a significant role in the strength development due to the filling and packing ability. The rough texture and surface of QD enables stronger bond between the paste and the fine aggregate. The concentration of alkaline solution increased the reaction rate and thus enhanced the development of early age strength. The use of M-sand and QD in the development of geopolymer concrete is recommended as the strength variation between these waste materials and conventional sand is not high.

Palm oil fuel ash (POFA) is a by-product waste material from palm oil with many economic and environmental benefits. A lack of enough information on the advantages of POFA in the concrete production in various proportions was the main cause to carry out this work. This paper shows advantages of POFA as a partial replacement of cement in concrete production, especially cement mortar. The data collection has been done from the literature review related to the use of POFA as partial cement replacement in the production of cement concrete and mortar. Therefore, this paper can potentially become a guide for researchers and manufacturers to use POFA in various proportions to replace the ordinary Portland cement (OPC) in cement concrete and mortar. The positive and negative impact resulting from this material has been discussed carefully. This study recommends that researchers and academics should perform more experimental works in order to illustrate the desired benefits from POFA as cement replacement, thus mitigate the adverse environmental impacts of cement.

This paper presents performance of blended geopolymer mortars prepared from fly ash (FA) and palm oil fuel ash (POFA). Both materials are used their Si and Al elements were activated by alkaline solution. The alkaline solution was prepared by mixing sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide. The optimum mix proportion of geopolymer mortar with FA:POFA mass ratio was 90:10. The ratio of sodium silicate solution to sodium hydroxide solution by mass was 2.5:1. The mass ratio of sand to blended ashes was 2.75:1. The mortar specimens were prepared using 5×5×5 cm cube and cured at room temperature (28oC) for 3 days before subsequently heat-cured at 110oC for 24 hours. The specimens were immersed in distilled water and peat water with pH 4-5 for 120 days. The compressive strength change, porosity, and sorptivity tests were taken. In general, the results shows there was a decrease in strength, an increase in porosity and sorptivity of the blended geopolymer mortars. Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR) test revealed that interaction of geopolymers mortar with the acidic peat water can also cause replacement of the exchangeable cations (Na, K) in polymers by hidrogen or hydronium ions. Formation of some new zeolitic phases in blended FA-POFA geopolymer mortar exposed to acidic peat water were observed.
