To maximize the utilization of red mud in geopolymers, a mud–metakaolin (RM-MK) geopolymer and mud–fly ash (RM-FA) were prepared, respectively. The effects content on compressive strength microstructure geopolymers investigated under three different curing conditions. results showed that decreased linearly with an increase content, whether at room temperature or 80 °C. Surprisingly, autoclave, ...
