This paper studies the effect of curing temperature and curing duration to the flood mud based geopolymer on compressive strength properties. Flood mud was used as a raw material for geopolymer and geopolymer samples were synthesized by using sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide 14M solution. These samples were cured at different temperature (100°C, 150°C, 200°C and 250°) for different curing duration (6h, 12h and 24h) respectively. Compressive strength tests were carried out at after 28 days. The compressive strength and SEM analysis of geopolymer products were evaluated. Result showed that the maximum compressive strength was 24 MPa at temperature of 150°C for 24 hours. With increasing ageing day, densification of geopolymer gel was observed.

Design And Synthesis

Geopolymers are materials suitable for utilization in the construction industry due to their superior properties, such as high strength and good durability. The properties of geopolymers can be configured due to mix design and synthesis conditions. In this study, the mix designs providing the highest compressive strength were investigated. For this purpose the sodium hydroxide/sodium silicate ratios and alkali activator/fly ash ratios were differentiated in the geopolymer synthesis. Fly ash was used as raw material. Geopolymer samples were cured at 80?C for 16 h and aged for 7 and 28 days in laboratory. The highest compressive strength was obtained as 27.36 MPa with alkali activator/fly ash ratio of 0.4 and sodium hydroxide/sodium silicate ratio of 1.0. The degree of reaction values were determined for all the geopolymer samples. Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used for determining the chemical bonds in the structure. The spectrum of the samples revealed that more aluminosilicate gel formed for the sample providing the highest compressive strength.

In this study the detailed analysis was made on alkali activated ultra fine natural steatite powder (UFNSP) mortars. The activating alkali was prepared through sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate with different molarities concentration of NaOH. The molarities of NaoH are various from 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16. The proportion of sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate proportion are fixed 1:2.5. Further the strength gained was accelerated through polyvinyl alcohol [PVA]. And various water binder ratio of 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8 and 0.9 with addition of PVA. For workability purpose super plasticizer was used, here Poly carboxylic ether was used as a superplasticizer. These various ratios concentration of alkali activators were tried on compressive strength of polymer mortar and the results were discussed. The watched outcomes demonstrate that, increment in sodium hydroxide content in soluble base fluid expands the strength. Exhibit the outcome was effect of Si/Al proportion on compressive strength of the specimen with various water binder proportions. In general, the study shows that integrating low ratio of Si/Al content in UFNSP with PVA can fetch low binding property on alkali activator UFNSP material.

Degumming of pre-chlorite treated jute fiber was studied in this paper. The effects of sodium hydroxide concentration, treatment time, temperature, sodium silicate concentration, fiber-to-liquor ratio, penetrating agent TF-107B concentration, and degumming agent TF-125A concentration were the process conditions examined. With respect to gum decomposition, fineness and mechanical properties, sodium hydroxide concentration, sodium silicate concentration, and treatment time were found to be the most important parameters. An orthogonal L9(34) experiment designed to optimize the conditions for degumming resulted in the selection of the following procedure: sodium hydroxide of 12g/L, sodium silicate of 3g/L, TF-107B of 2g/L, TF-125A of 2g/L, treatment time of 105 min, temperature of 100°C and fiber to liquor ratio of 1:20. The effect of the above degumming process on the removal of impurities was also examined and the results showed that degumming was an effective method for removing impurities, especially hemicellulose.

Geopolymer Paste

The production of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) consumes considerable amount of natural resources, energy and at the same time contribute in high emission of CO2 to the atmosphere. A new material replacing cement as binder called geopolymer is alkali-activated concrete which are made from fly ash, sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The alkaline solution mixed with fly ash producing alternative binder to OPC binder in concrete named geopolymer paste. In the process, NaOH was fully dissolved in water and cooled to room temperature. This study aims to eliminate this process by using NaOH in solid form together with fly ash before sodium silicate liquid and water poured into the mixture. The amount of NaOH solids were based on 10M concentration. The workability test is in accordance to ASTM C230. Fifty cubic mm of the geopolymer paste were prepared which consists of fly ash to alkaline solution ratio of 1: 0.5 and the curing regime of 80℃ for 24 hours with 100% humidity were implemented. From laboratory test, the workability of dry method geopolymer paste were decreased. The compressive strength of the dry mix of NaOH showed 55% and the workability has dropped to 58.4%, it showed strength reduction compared to the wet mix method.

Ordinary Portland Cement is the most widely used binder in the construction sector; however, a very high carbon footprint is associated with its production process. Consequently, more sustainable alternative construction materials are being investigated, namely, one-part alkali activated materials (AAMs). In this work, waste-based one-part AAMs binders were developed using only a blast furnace slag, as the solid precursor, and sodium metasilicate, as the solid activator. For the first time, mortars in which the commercial sand was replaced by two exhausted sands from biomass boilers (CA and CT) were developed. Firstly, the characterization of the slag and sands (aggregates) was performed. After, the AAMs fresh and hardened state properties were evaluated, being the characterization complemented by FTIR and microstructural analysis. The binder and the mortars prepared with commercial sand presented high compressive strength values after 28 days of curing-56 MPa and 79 MPa, respectively. The mortars developed with exhausted sands exhibit outstanding compressive strength values, 86 and 70 MPa for CT and CA, respectively, and the other material’s properties were not affected. Consequently, this work proved that high compressive strength waste-based one-part AAMs mortars can be produced and that it is feasible to use another waste as aggregate in the mortar’s formulations: the exhausted sands from biomass boilers.
