Abstract

In this paper, the results of the experimental investigation were used to understand the effect of fine meta-halloysite on the reactivity, mechanical and microstructural properties of laterite-based geopolymers. Laterite was replaced by 0, 20, 30 and 50 wt% of meta-halloysite in order to improve the physico-chemical performance. Meta-halloysite was prepared by calcination of natural halloysite at 600 °C. The moduli (molar ratio SiO2/Na2O) of the activating solutions were 1.04, 0.92, and 0.75 with H2O/Na2O = 9.78, 10.45 and 12.04, respectively. The results indicated that calcined laterite has a high specific surface area (43.00 ± 0.12 m2/g), notwithstanding a high average particle size (d50 = 45.20 μm) compared to meta-halloysite with a smaller average particle size (d50 = 8.40 μm) and a specific surface (29.80 ± 0.16 m2/g). The compressive strength of geopolymers increased upon the addition of meta-halloysite from 12 MPa to 45 MPa at 28 days. While the setting time and water absorption decrease with increase in the of meta-halloysite content as well as with increase in Si/Al, Si/Fe, Al/Fe and Na/Al molar ratios used in the synthesis of geopolymers. The use of fine meta-halloysite resulted in better efficiency and improved mechanical performance of synthesized products.
