Nowadays Environmental pollution is the major problem faced by the world. The emission of pollutants by construction industry during production of Portland cement are the main causes for environmental pollution. With the increase in use of industrial by products in our construction industry the pollution effect on environment can be reduced. Geopolymer is the one which uses by products and are environmentally friendly. In the present study to produced geopolymer the Portland cement is replaced with fly ash and fine aggregate is replaced with quarry dust and for binding materials alkaline are used. In this study for polymerization the alkaline solutions used are sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and Sodium silicate (Na2Sio3) solution. To prepare different mixes different molarities of sodium hydroxide solution i.e. 6M and 8M and comprehensive strength is calculated for each mix. The size of cube specimen considered are 150 mm x 150mm x 150mm.The comprehensive strength of geopolymer concrete specimen are tested at the age of 7,28 and 56 days. Mixes of different molarities 6M and 8M are prepared by varying the sodium hydroxide flakes amount in grams which are then cured in lab atmosphere and their strengths are calculated for 7,28 and 56 days. The results show that with the increase of the molarity of sodium hydroxide solution the comprehensive strength increases

Alarming levels of greenhouse gas emissions has triggered change in the mode of direction of building material research. In this pursuit, alkali activated binders (AAB), synthesized by activation of industrial by products and natural materials in the presence of highly alkaline solutions, have offered viable alternative to OPC. However, there are quite a number of variables which controls the properties of these binders. Among these parameters, SS/SH ratio and molarity of sodium hydroxide solution plays a very important role in the development of these binders. Therefore, this research investigates the effect of SS/SH ratio, subsequently, molarity of SH solution on the properties of natural pozzolan based AAB. The NP was activated with sodium silicate to sodium hydroxide ratio (SS/SH) between 2.0 to 2.75. Subsequently, the molarity of SH solution was varied between 8 to 14. The development in strength was monitored on the specimens cured at 60 °C. SEM and EDS techniques were used to determine the nature of the binder formed during alkali activation. The results have shown that SS/SH ratio of 2.5 and 14 molar SH solution resulted in higher strength and finer microstructure as compared to others. Also, it was understood that there exists a suitable silica modulus of combined activator which results in higher polymerization.

The sodium salt of 4-amino-3-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid (O-nitroaniline-p-sulfonic acid) has been prepared by the action of dilute sodium hydroxide solution on ethyl [(4-chlorosulfonyl-2-nitro)- phenyllcarbamate. Central to this synthesis is the finding that the N-ethoxycarbonyl group, when located ortho to a nitro group (but not to a bromo group), is readily removed by dilute sodium hydroxide solution.
