Development of One-part geopolymers based on industrial carbonate waste
Graphical abstract Display Omitted
Highlights Thermal activation of carbonate industrial waste produced solid activators. Calcinated Ca-Mg wastes are suitable as activators for one-part geopolymer. Metakaolin one-part geopolymers reached compressive strength of 20 MPa. The main one-part geopolymer crystalline binding phase is Stratlingite. One-part geopolymers activated by waste materials raise sustainability.
Abstract Growing environmental concerns have raised the need for sustainable alternatives to conventional Portland cement. In this research Ca/Mg-carbonate based industrial wastes were used to prepare solid alkali-activators for one-part geopolymers. Dolomite and limestone quarry dust and calcite industrial byproduct were thermally activated at 950-1000℃, transforming carbonates into Ca/Mg oxides. Metakaolin based one-part geopolymers were cast, utilizing the oxides as solid activators. The main crystalline phase formed was Stratlingite. Fair compressive strength (∼20 MPa) was measured after 40 days ambient curing. This study illustrates activated carbonate waste materials may be used as sustainable solid activators for one-part geopolymer synthesis.
