“…This residue is dark brown coloured with high moisture content (could reach 50 wt-%, depending on the extraction process) with an average of 25 wt-% moisture content, 3 wt-% oil content and 7 wt-% ash content. The manufacturing of olive oil in Jordan produces more than 75 thousand tons of olive oil residue annually [7]. Combustion of olive oil residue as a solid fuel (biofuel) yields significant quantities of residues (ashes).…”

Alternative fuels are being used increasingly to reduce energy costs and benefit the economics of electric power industries. Olive residues could be among those alternative fuels. This paper investigates the potential use of olive biomass ash (OBA) to develop a new sustainable binder (geopolymer composite). Refined binder chemistry was developed where the alkali and silica contents of the OBA are supplemented by calcined kaolin (CK) as alumina-rich constituents targeting balanced chemistry. The results showed that optimum formulation was achieved when 40 wt-% OBA and 60 wt-% CK were blended yielding geopolymer concrete with 28day compressive strength of 30 MPa. Further refinements were carried out by adding of CaO or NaOH. The compressive strength reached to more than 45 MPa when 5 wt-% CaO or 10 wt-% NaOH was added to the optimum blend. microstructural and mineralogical studies were performed to get insight into the microstructural changes and explain the findings.
