Novel porous fly ash-containing geopolymers for pH buffering applications

TL;DR: In this paper, porous biomass fly ash-containing geopolymers with high pH buffer capacity and tailored alkalis leaching were produced by using hydrogen peroxide as blowing agent, and the results demonstrate that the leaching rate can be controlled by the hydrogenperoxide content and by the solids-to-liquid ratio during preparation.
