“…The proper disposal and effective utilization of hazardous waste has become a major challenge to the industry, due to stringent environment protection rules and regulations by the administration. Geopolymer technology provides a sustainable solution towards waste utilization, pollution mitigation and resource conservation by using waste materials as precursor (Fernández-Jiménez and Palomo, 2003;Onisei et al, 2012;Lee et al, 2016;Kumar et al, 2017;Koplík et al, 2018;Nie et al, 2019;Xia et al, 2019). As a result, a huge number of industrial byproducts and wastes have been examined for solidification/stabilization through geopolymer technology (Xu et al, 2014;Nazari and Sanjayan, 2015;Djobo et al, 2016;Lirer et al, 2017;Kiventera et al, 2018;Koplík et al, 2018;Nath, 2018;Hassan et al, 2019;Luhar et al, 2019;Nie et al, 2019).…”
