“…The formation of geopolymer products from the high degree of polymerization would ensure high connectivity between different particles and a corresponding reduction in open porosity. These observations are in agreement with the ndings of Kaze et al [35] where it was reported that increasing the calcination temperature improved the geopolymerization reaction leading to the formation of strong structures with lower porosity. Wang et al [43] reported a 60.1% increase in bulk density when the calcination temperature of kaolin was increased from 800°C to 900°C.…”

The growing demand and use of geopolymer binders have been of high interest in recent times due to their sustainability and economic benefits. However, locally available materials must be used in the production of geopolymer binders in order to maximize their benefits. In this study, a laterite soil which is a locally available material in many parts of the world was used as the aluminosilicate precursor. In order to produce the geopolymer binders, the laterite soil was activated thermally through calcination and the resulting calcined laterite was activated with an alkali activator composed of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium silicate (Na2SiO3). The influence of calcination temperature and the concentration of NaOH on the properties of the developed geopolymers was investigated. Calcination temperature used ranged between 550 °C to 750 °C and the NaOH concentrations used were 8 M and 10 M. The results from this study indicate that some locally available laterite soils can be utilized in the production of geopolymer binders if they undergo calcination. Increasing the calcination temperature from 550 °C to 750 °C resulted in the transformation of phases and an increase in the reactivity of the laterites, resulting in material with improved properties. The use of laterite calcined at 750 °C and activated with 8 M NaOH solution resulted to an increase in the 28 days compressive strength by 35.3 MPa compared to when laterite calcined at 550 °C was used. Increasing the concentration of the NaOH solution was also found to yield higher material performance. Microstructural investigations were also carried out to confirm the macrostructural properties.

“…Portland cement (PC) is a widely used material, with a global production estimated at 4.1 billion tons in 2017 [ 1 ]. However, with released CO 2 concerns associated with PC production, there has been increasing interest in the development of alternative, more environmentally friendly binders, including geopolymers [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. Alkali-activated materials (AAM) are defined as materials enclosing binder systems resulting from the reaction of a solid or dissolved alkali metal source, the activator, with a solid silicate powder [ 8 ].…”

Copper slag (CS) remains a challenging industrial by-product with a relatively small utilization fraction. The present study investigated the development of one-part alkali-activated cements based on CS, ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) and a mixture of the two as a precursor. We investigated 5 to 15 wt% solid sodium metasilicate (Na2SiO3) and disilicate (Na2Si2O5) as alkaline reagents. Isothermal calorimetry showed that the reactivity of the system was higher for the metasilicate based samples, with early reaction and higher cumulative heat released. Metasilicate based samples also presented a more densified microstructure, lower porosity and higher strength. Better performances were observed with 10 wt% metasilicate/disilicate with respect to the 5 and 15 wt%. The 28-day compressive strength and elastic modulus of 10 wt% metasilicate samples reached 75 MPa and 25 GPa, respectively, and, for paste samples, ranged from 100 wt% GGBS to 50/50 wt% CS/GGBS. The microstructure and calorimetry of the pastes showed that GGBS actively participated in the binding process, whereas CS played a smaller role and acted as a filler and catalyst. The substitution of commercial GGBS by CS up to 50 wt% did not affect the overall performance, thus, bringing CS forward as an economically interesting precursor.

“…Since the discovery of HNTs, they have attracted the attention of scholars at home and abroad. Owing to its physical and chemical particularity, it has been more and more widely used in various fields [ 45 , 46 ]. For example, the HNTs with curly tubular structure could be used as an efficient adsorbent especially in the adsorption area [ 22 , 47 ].…”

Low-cost urea formaldehyde resin (UF)/reactive halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) nanocomposite adhesive was prepared successfully via in situ polymerization. The HNTs were modified to improve its compatibility with polymer. The XRD and FTIR results showed that physical and chemical interaction between the HNTs and polymer resin influenced the structure of UF owing to the functional groups on the HNTs. It is found from SEM images that the modified HNTs could be dispersed uniformly in the resin and the nanocomposite particles were spherical. The performance experiment confirmed that thermal stability of nanocomposite increased largely, formaldehyde emission of UF wood adhesive reduced 62%, and water resistance of UF wood adhesive improved by 84%. Meanwhile, the content of HNTs on the nanocomposites could be up to 60 wt %. The mechanism of the nanocomposites based on the reactive HNTs was proposed. The approach of the preparation could supply an idea to prepare other polymer/clay nanocomposites.
