Abstract Systems of different Ca/Si and Al/Si molar ratios were investigated. Incorporation of
Al increases main basal spacing, amount of bounded water and decreases crystallinity of C …

Generation of an enormous amount of construction and demolition (C&D) waste due to rapid
growth in the infrastructure segment globally is a matter of dire concern for the present …

Geopolymerization is a general term to describe all the chemical processes that are involved
in reacting aluminosilicates with aqueous alkaline solutions to produce a new class of …

Two geopolymer systems were prepared by alkali activation of fly ash and kaolin at room
temperature with alkaline silicate solutions. System I was synthesised using a less …

Class F fly ash was leached in alkaline solutions (pH∼ 13.95) of varying concentrations of
soluble silicates at 20° C. The elemental compositions of the leached solutions were studied …

Precursors for the preparation of one‐part geopolymers are synthesized by thermal
activation of albite with sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate, then cooling and crushing …

Developing sustainable and low-CO 2 emission construction materials is of essential
importance for reducing the environmental footprint of cement industry. In this work, ordinary …

In this work application of IR spectra for the determination of silcooxygen ring types in
framework silicates structures has been presented. Results of the spectra interpretation for …

This paper investigates the effect of fly ash characteristics on the strength development of fly
ash-based geopolymer, and reports an observation of delayed high-strength development of …

The aim of the work is to determine the internal structure of simple silicate glasses based on
structural studies. Due to the absence of the long-range order, the X-ray methods usually …
