Fly Ash Porous Material using Geopolymerization Process for High Temperature Exposure

چکیده
This paper presents the results of a study on the effect of temperature on geopolymers manufactured using pozzolanic materials (fly ash). In this paper, we report on our investigation of the performance of porous geopolymers made with fly ash after exposure to temperatures from 600 °C up to 1000 °C. The research methodology consisted of pozzolanic materials (fly ash) synthesized with a mixture of sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate solution as an alkaline activator. Foaming agent solution was added to geopolymer paste. The geopolymer paste samples were cured at 60 °C for one day and the geopolymers samples were sintered from 600 °C to 1000 °C to evaluate strength loss due to thermal damage. We also studied their phase formation and microstructure. The heated geopolymers samples were tested by compressive strength after three days. The results showed that the porous geopolymers exhibited strength increases after temperature exposure.

متن کاملModeling the Formation of Geopolymers
Geopolymers are a class of X-ray amorphous alkali aluminosilicate gel binder materials with potential applications in a wide range of areas. In particular, geopolymers can provide significant improvements over traditional Portland cement technology in applications requiring resistance to acid or salt attack, or thermal stability at temperatures up to 1000°C. The quasi-zeolitic nature of some of...
متن کاملStudy on the Disposition of Water in Fly Ash-Based Geopolymers Using ATRâ•fiIR
This paper addresses the question of whether the main product of low calcium fly ash-based geopolymer is a hydrate, namely, sodium aluminosilicate hydrate (N-A-S-H). The answer to this question is important for understanding geopolymer characteristics. One of these is its fire resistance. In this study, fly ash-based geopolymers were synthesized using the combination of Na2CO3 and Ca(OH)2. Samp...
متن کاملOne-part geopolymer mixes from geothermal silica and sodium aluminate
At present, the most commonly used building material is ordinary Portland cement (OPC). However, OPC has a negative environmental effect during synthesis, with the release of significant amount of CO2 greenhouse gas. The cement industry is responsible for 5-8% of total global anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Geopolymerization is a technology capable of turning industrial wastes into strong and chem...

In this study, the elevated temperature flexural strengths of lightweight foamed concrete (LFC) containing fly ash (FA) and polypropylene fiber (PF) was investigated experimentally and statistically. The variables included were the temperature degrees (in a range of 20 to 600°C), LFC densities of 600, 800, 1000, 1200 and 1400 kg/m3 and additive content. Two mixes were made by replacing 15% and ...
