Effect of Sodium Hydroxide Concentration and Sodium Silicate to Sodium Hydroxide Ratio on Properties of Calcined Kaolin-White Portlandcement Geopolymer

Abstract: This study presents the effects of sodium hydroxide concentration (NH) and sodium silicate to sodium hydroxide ratio (NS/NH) on the mechanical properties and microstructure of geopolymer pastes prepared from calcined kaolin (CK) and white Portland cement (WPC). Different curing conditions viz., ambient curing, temperature curing, and moist curing were used. The results indicated the increasing NH concentration and NS/NH ratio increased the compressive strength of CK-WPC geopolymers and gave the highest compres… Show more

“…The unnecessary OH − ions in the geopolymer cause early precipitation of aluminosilicate gel. These will disturb the process of releasing the Al 3+ and Si 4+ ions in the fly ash and dolomite and cause the geopolymerization rate to be lowered as well, producing a low compressive strength of geopolymer [ 16 ]. This was also due to the high Ca content in dolomite which affects the gelation of silica (Si) during geopolymerization process and distracts the compressive strength output [ 17 ].…”

“…The increase in SS can also contribute to the formation of geopolymer chain monomers, namely Si-O monomer bonds [26]. A steady rise in SS speeds up the formation of polymerization bonds [2], while a steady rise in SS/SH decreases the time it takes for the geopolymer binder to stick together [27]. Setting Time (min)…”

“…The development of geopolymers began with the production of kaolin-based geopolymers [14]. Geopolymers composed of alumino-silicates (SiO2 and Al2O3) derived from natural resources such as kaolin and fly ash waste, as well as other silica and alumina-containing minerals [15][16][17]. Geopolymers offer the benefits of being fire resistant, chemically corrosion resistant, and having high mechanical strength and durability [18][19][20].…”
