Abstract

Geopolymer concrete is an alternative to obtaining environmentally friendly mortar by synthesizing materials that contain a lot of aluminum silicate. This study aims to determine the effect of bentonite and palm shell ash composition on geopolymers' physical and mechanical characteristics. All materials are mashed, mixed, and molded with a 5x5x5 cm3 cube. Ten specimens were prepared with bentonite - palm shell ash compositions are 40/45, 45/40, 50/35, 55/30, and 60/25 wt%. Meanwhile, the composition of NaOH, Na2SiO3, superplasticizer and water remained at 1.3, 7.7, 2, and 5 wt%, respectively. Then the samples were dried at room temperature for 24 hrs and heated at 60 °C or 80 °C for 12 hrs. The geopolymer concrete with the best characteristics was obtained with a composition of 40 wt% bentonites and 45 wt% palm shell ash by heating at 80 °C. This specimen has a compressive strength of 11.94 MPa with a density of 2.42 g/cm3, porosity of 8.43%, and absorption of 3.48%. The results have a chemical composition of 55.59% SiO₂, 9.45% Al2O3, and 8.22 Fe2O3 with a dominant quartz phase. Scanning electron microscope photo shows good bonding between particles, and there are no pores formed.

Abstract

Coal fly ash an inexpensive waste material rich in silica, is reused as a renewable source and has attracted widespread attention. The sol-gel process was used to synthesize silica nanoparticles based on coal fly ash. Extraction of silica in the form of alkaline sodium silicate using alkali, followed by the formation of silica gel from the neutralization of alkaline sodium silicate with acid. The treated samples were calcined at 450 °C, 650 °C, and 850 °C. The chemical composition, morphology, phase, and silica functional groups of the as-synthesized silica nanoparticle powder were investigated using X-ray fluorescence (XRF), field emission scanning electron microscopy and Electron diffraction spectroscopy (FESEM-EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Infrared (IR) spectral analysis showed that silica had hydrogen-bonded silanol and siloxane groups. The silica nanoparticles' purity was found to be as high as 97% in their amorphous state, with XRD analysis indicating this due to the broad peak observed in the 20-23° two-theta region, characterised by a spherical shape and a tendency to aggregate into clusters.
