Preparation of Metakaolin Based Geopolymer Foam Using a Combination of Na and K Types of Alkali Activators

In this research, the ordinary Portland cement (OPC) was mixed with metakaolin, activator, hydrogen peroxide, and olive oil to synthesize hybrid geopolymer foam. The obtained results indicated internal heat release throughout OPC hydration in combination. employed as a calcium source geopolymers (Geopolymer-Portland (HGPF)) explore curing process of at ambient temperature. functionality components (HGPF) mixture, elemental composition, proportion analyses have been compared. A principal aim research focuses on developing foam conducting many tests such physical related surface area pores size compression investigate capacity applying different applications that require good strength. Furthermore, microstructure using SEM XRD techniques conducted examine structure components. Overall, findings presented show materials selected develop were compatible each other giving high porosity acceptable via optimizing processing parameters by RSM.
