“…Kupaei et al identified an increase in the compressive strength of foamed cements as coal fly ash was partially replaced by palm oil fuel ash, which was attributed to the higher water demand of the coal ash and thus the need to add more water to achieve satisfactory workability, and Liu et al also developed low‐density structural insulating materials from this combination of precursors. Hawa et al added palm oil fuel ash to alkali‐activated metakaolin, which was able to decrease the tendency towards drying shrinkage of these alkali‐activated cements.…”

“…Fernandez‐Jiménez and Palomo suggested that a suitable coal FA must have loss on ignition values lower than 5% . However, there exist studies related to the production of alkali‐activated materials using different industrial wastes or by‐products derived from thermal processes with higher contents of organic matter, including coal fly ash, coal bottom ash, municipal solid waste ashes, palm oil fuel ash, and sugar cane bagasse ash . Considering that the high content of un‐reacted material reduces the effectiveness and reactivity of these wastes as precursors, blending with another more‐reactive aluminosilicate may be required.…”

Abstract 15There is a growing global interest in maximising the re-use and recycling of waste, to 16 minimise the environmental impacts associated with waste treatment and disposal. Use 17 of high-volume wastes in the production of blended or novel cements (including alkali-18 activated cements) is well known as a key pathway by which these wastes can be re-19 used. This paper presents a critical overview of the urban, agricultural, mining and 20 industrial wastes that have been identified as potential precursors for the production of 21 alkali-activated cement materials, or that can be effectively stabilised/solidified via 22 alkali activation, to assure their safe disposal. The central aim of this review is to 23 elucidate the potential advantages and pitfalls associated with the application of alkali-24 activation technology to a wide variety of wastes that have been claimed to be suitable 25 for the production of construction materials. A brief overview of the generation and 26 characteristics of each waste is reported, accompanied by identification of opportunities 27 for the use of alkali-activation technology for their valorisation and/or management. 28

“…During the last two decades, there have been a number of researchers who focused their efforts to utilize geopolymer concrete due to the wide range of potential applications [8,9,15]. The effect of single and binary combination of binders among MK, GGBS, and POFA has been reported by previous researchers [28][29][30]. Islam et al [13] reported the highest compressive strength of about 66 MPa by using 70% GGBS with 30% POFA.…”

The investigation concerns the use of the optimum mix proportion of two locally available pozzolanic waste materials, namely, ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) and palm oil fuel ash (POFA), together with metakaolin (MK) as binders. In addition, another local waste material, manufactured sand (M-sand), was used as a replacement for conventional sand in the development of green geopolymer mortar. Twenty-four mortar mixtures were designed with varying binder contents and alkaline activators. The oven dry curing was also kept consistent for all the mix proportions at a temperature of 65°C for 24 hours. The highest 28-day compressive strength of about 48 MPa was obtained for the mortar containing 20% of MK, 35% of GGBS, and 45% of POFA. The increment of MK beyond 20% leads to reduction of the compressive strength. The GGBS replacement beyond 35% also reduced the compressive strength. The entire specimen achieved average 80% of the 28-day strength at the age of 3 days. The density decreased with the increase of POFA percentage. The finding of this research by using the combination of MK, GGBS, and POFA as binders to wholly replace conventional ordinary Portland cement would lead to alternate eco-friendly geopolymer matrix.

The effect of molarity of alkali activator, manufactured sand (M-sand), and quarry dust (QD) on the compressive strength of palm oil fuel ash (POFA) and fly ash (FA) based geopolymer mortar was investigated and reported. The variable investigated includes the quantities of replacement levels of M-sand, QD, and conventional mining sand (N-sand) in two concentrated alkaline solutions; the contents of alkaline solution, water, POFA/FA ratio, and curing condition remained constant. The results show that an average of 76% of the 28-day compressive strength was found at the age of 3 days. The rate of strength development from 3 to 7 days was found between 12 and 16% and it was found much less beyond this period. The addition of 100% M-sand and QD shows insignificant strength reduction compared to mixtures with 100% N-sand. The particle angularity and texture of fine aggregates played a significant role in the strength development due to the filling and packing ability. The rough texture and surface of QD enables stronger bond between the paste and the fine aggregate. The concentration of alkaline solution increased the reaction rate and thus enhanced the development of early age strength. The use of M-sand and QD in the development of geopolymer concrete is recommended as the strength variation between these waste materials and conventional sand is not high.
