“…Özsoy et al investigated the effect of diatomite dust on the strength properties of fly ash-based geopolymer mortars. The addition of 2% diatomite dust increased the compressive strength and flexural strength [66]. In another study, researchers investigated the effect of using chalcedonite powder as a partial substitute for cement in mortars.…”

The purpose of this study is to synthesize geopolymer binders as an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional cement using available local raw materials. Waste materials such as chalcedonite (Ch), amphibolite (A), fly ash from lignite combustion (PB), and diatomite dust (D) calcined at 900 °C were used to produce geopolymer binders. Metakaolin (M) was used as an additional modifier for binders based on waste materials. The base materials were subjected to fluorescence X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis and X-ray diffractometry (XRD) to determine chemical and phase composition. A laser particle size analysis was also performed. The various mixtures of raw materials were activated with a 10 M solution of NaOH and sodium water glass and then annealed for 24 h at 60 °C. The produced geopolymer binders were conditioned for 28 days under laboratory conditions and then subjected to microstructural analysis (SEM) and flexural and compressive strength tests. The best compressive strength results were obtained by the Ch + PB samples—more than 57 MPa, while the lowest results were obtained by the Ch + D+A + M samples—more than 20 MPa. On the other hand, as a result of the flexural strength tests, the highest flexural results were obtained by D + A + M + PB binders—more than 12 MPa, and the lowest values were obtained by binders based on Ch + D+A + M—about 4.8 MPa.
