A factorial experimental analysis of using wood fly ash as an alkaline activator along with coal fly ash for production of geopolymer-cementitious hybrids.

TL;DR: The focus of this study is to reduce the leachability factor of wood fly ash involved in the alkaline activated process and to understand the effects of various factors (i.e. water-to-ash ratio, method of curing, type of alkaline activator and ash sieving) on the leaching process, through factorial experimental analysis.
