Fly ash geopolymer coating material potential used to protect surface used in exposure conditions. Ratio of fly ash/alkaline activator and Na2SiO3/NaOH play important parameter on determining the best flexural strength of geopolymer coating material. Fly ash and alkali activator (Al2O3/Na2SiO3) were mixed with the solids-to-liquid ratios in range of 1.0-3.0 and different ratios of Na2SiO3/NaOH (1.0-3.0) to prepare geopolymer coating material at constant NaOH concentration of 10 M. Effect of fly ash/alkaline activator ratio and Na2SiO3/NaOH on geopolymer coating was determined with respect to the highest flexural strength of the 1200oC sintering temperature of geopolymer coating substrates. The results concluded that the highest strength for fly ash geopolymer coating material is achieved 42 MPa when the solid/liquid ratio is 2.0 and the Na2SiO3/NaOH ratio is 2.5.

This paper present the flexural strength of kaolin geopolymer ceramics with addition of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) as a binder. The effect of varying UHMWPE loading and different sintering temperature on kaolin geopolymer ceramics were evaluated. Kaolin and alkaline activator were mixed with the solid-to-liquid ratio of 1.0. Alkaline activator was formed by mixing the 8 M NaOH solution with sodium silicate at a ratio of 0.24. Addition of UHMWPE to the kaolin geopolymer ceramics are fabricated with UHMWPE loadings of 2, 4, 6 and 8 (wt. %) by using powder metallurgy method. The samples were heated at different temperature started from 900 °C until 1200 °C and the strength were tested. It was found that the flexural strength for the kaolin geopolymer ceramics with addition of UHMWPE were higher and generally increased with the increasing of UHMWPE loading. Similar trend was observed for the effect of sintering temperature. The result revealed that the optimum flexural strength was obtained at UHMWPE loading of 8 wt. % and the samples heated at 1200 °C achieved the highest flexural strength (49.15 MPa).

Gepolymeric material is a new building material, which not only has the characteristics of organic polymer, ceramic and cement but also unique properties. The effects of four factors on the strength of fly ash and metakaolin based geopolymer were discussed with the orthogonal tests in this study, including fly ash content, NaOH solution concentration, solid-liquid ratio and the content of sodium silicate in the liquid phase. The results show that: content of fly ash 30%, NaOH solution concentration 12mol/L, solid-to-liquid ratio 4.5 and the content of sodium silicate in the liquid phase 65% is the best condition preparation of fly ash and metakaolin based geopolymer.

The effect of solid-to-liquid ratio and temperature on the mechanical properties of kaolin geopolymer ceramics are studied. Kaolin and alkaline activator were mixed with the solid-to-liquid ratio in the range of 0.8-1.2. Alkaline activator was formed by mixing the 12 M NaOH solution with sodium silicate at a ratio of 0.24. Kaolin geopolymer ceramic have been produced by using powder metallurgy (PM) technique. The samples were heated at different temperature started from 900 °C until 1200 °C and the strength were tested. The relative density and flexural strength of sintered sample range approximately 84%-95% and 20-90 MPa respectively. The result revealed that the optimum flexural strength was obtained at solid-to-liquid ratio of 1.0 and the samples heated at 1200 °C achieved the highest flexural strength (90 MPa).

The optimization synthezised of geopolymer based on fly ash materials have been done by using Taguchi method. The experimental design was done with 4 factors and 3 levels, that were the influence of Si/Al ratio, solid/liquid ratio, NaOH and the type of aggregate. Geopolymers were synthesized by sol gel method at room temperature, using fly ash as aluminasilica source and alkaline activator solutions thain consist of NaOH and Na2SiO3. The influence of Si/Al ratio studied at level of 4.00, 4.25, 4,50, solid/liquid ratio at level of 1.50, 2.33, 4.00. NaOH (%wt/%v) of 0.24, 0.40, 0.56, and the type of aggregate of Malang sand, Bojonegoro sand and granite. Based on SNR analysis and the characterization determination of higher is better, the geopolymer optimum composition was Si/Al factor at level of 3 (4.50), solid/liquid ratio level at 2 (2.33), NaOH level at 1 (0.24) and type of aggregate level at 3 (granite).

Clay based geopolymer ceramic were produced through the geopolymerisation process by the alkali activation of kaolin with an activator solution which is mixture of sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide and undergoes heating at elevated temperature. The concentration of NaOH used in this study was in the range of 6 M-12 M. The ratio of kaolin to alkaline activator used is 1.0. Three different ratios of Na2SiO3/NaOH of 0.16, 0.24 and 0.32 were used to investigate the optimum flexural strength. The samples were cured at 80 °C for 24 hours and sintered at temperatures ranging from 900 °C-1200 °C. The optimum flexural strength of 86.833 MPa is obtained when the ratios of Na2SiO3/NaOH is 0.24 with the NaOH concentration of 12M at 1200 °C.

In this study, SiO2–Al2O3–CaO–MgO steel slag ceramics containing 5 wt % MgO were used for the preparation of ceramic bodies, with the replacement of 5–20 wt % quartz and feldspar by fly ash. The effect of the addition of fly ash on the sintering shrinkage, water absorption, sintering range, and flexural strength of the steel slag ceramic was studied. Furthermore, the crystalline phase transitions and microstructures of the sintered samples were investigated by XRD, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and SEM. The results showed that the addition of fly ash affected the crystalline phases of the sintered ceramic samples. The main crystal phases of the base steel slag ceramic sample without fly ash were quartz, diopside, and augite. With increasing fly ash content, the quartz diffraction peak decreased gradually, while the diffraction peak intensity of anorthite became stronger. The mechanical properties of the samples decreased with the increasing amount of fly ash. The addition of fly ash (0–20 wt %) affected the optimum sintering temperature (1130–1160 °C) and widened the sintering range. The maximum addition amount of fly ash should be 15 wt %, for which the optimum sintering temperature was 1145 °C, water absorption was 0.03%, and flexural strength was 43.37 MPa higher than the Chinese national standard GBT 4100-2015 requirements.

This paper reports the results of an experimental work conducted to investigate the effect of curing conditions on the properties of fly ash-based geopolymer bricks prepared by using fly ash as base material and combination of sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate as alkaline activator. The experiments were conducted by varying the curing time in the range of 1-24 hours respectively. The specimens cured for a period of 24 hours have presented the highest compressive strength for all ratio of fly ash to sand. For increasing curing time improve compressive strength and decreasing water absorption.
