Effects of calcination temperature of kaolinite clays on the properties of geopolymer cements

Antoine Elimbi, +2 more
- 01 Jun 2011 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the most convenient calcination temperature of kaolinite clays in view of producing geopolymer cements was determined by determining their setting time, linear shrinkage and compressive strength.
Journal ArticleDOI

Geopolymer binders from metakaolin using sodium waterglass from waste glass and rice husk ash as alternative activators: A comparative study

Hervé K. Tchakouté, +5 more
- 01 Jul 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, rice husk and waste glass from sources in Cameroon were used for producing sodium waterglass (NWG) solution denoted S1 and S2 respectively as alternative activators to prepare metakaolin-based geopolymer binder.
Journal ArticleDOI

Potential of using granite waste as raw material for geopolymer synthesis

L.N. Tchadjié, +6 more
- 01 Feb 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential of using granite waste (GW) as raw material for geopolymer synthesis was investigated, and the results showed that the reactivity of GW is improved by alkali fusion method.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanical properties and durability of volcanic ash based geopolymer mortars

Jean Noël Yankwa Djobo, +4 more
- 15 Oct 2016 - 
TL;DR: The mechanical properties and durability of volcanic ash-based geopolymer mortars synthesized at 27°C and 80°C were evaluated in this article, where they achieved a compressive strength of 20.5 MPa after 28 days and reached a maximum strength of 37.9 MPa at 90 days for specimens cured at 80 °C.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of gibbsite and quartz in kaolin on the properties of metakaolin-based geopolymer cements

Hervé K. Tchakouté, +5 more
- 01 Apr 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, three different metakaolins (K1, K2, K3) from sources in Cameroon were applied for producing geopolymer cements, and three different kaolins differ significantly in their gibbsite and quartz contents.
