Binder Materials and Mix Proportion of Geopolymer
Keywords:
Geopolymer, Fly ash, Metakaolin, Slag, Palm oil ashAbstract
The growth of demand for cement concrete around the world concerns the destruction of natural resources. Geopolymer materials show promise as a sustainable alternative to cement concrete. Pozzolan materials such as fly ash, metakaolin, slag, and palm oil ash have different chemical compositions. Various binder to alkaline, sodium silicate to sodium hydroxide, sand to the binder, and stone to binder mixed to geopolymer. Outstanding reviews papers undertaken to quantify and understand the effects of the variable mentioned for compressive strength in the literature. The review also provides insights into research gaps in this field to promote geopolymer research in the future.
