Synthesis and Study of Properties of Geopolymer Materials Developed Using Local Natural Raw Materials and Industrial Waste

Abstract

This paper describes the synthesis of geopolymer materials using thermally modified clay rocks of Georgia and metallurgical granulated blast-furnace slag; as well as the study of their physical and mechanical properties, durability, and corrosion resistance in aggressive solutions.The methods of chemical, X-ray phase, differential thermal analysis and SEM were used.
