Abstract

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) indicated that both geopolymers contained unreacted particles surrounded by amorphous and semi-amorphous phases, while Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) suggested that Na and Ca can serve as exchangeable ions, thus increasing the adsorption efficiency of the produced geopolymers. FTIR, isothermal conduction calorimetry, thermogravimetry coupled with mass spectrometry analysis of the evolved gas, and SEM/EDS were used to assess the effect of mechanical activation on the reactivity of the raw materials. [...]a predictive model based on multivariate analysis for the determination of the compressive strength of CPB samples was developed. [...]the rheological behavior of both OPC- and AAS-CPB samples was substantially improved when higher curing temperature was used.
