Abstract
Porous concretes such as aerated and lightweight concretes are commonly used in construction fields. Lightweight construction materials are used to reduce either the weight or the budget of building structures. Aluminium (Al) powder was utilized to create bubbles in porous structure and giving information for porous geopolymer production. It was introduced by adding 0.05-1% Al-powder as the initiated materials of geopolymers to react with water in those materials and promote hydrogen gas inside specimens. The research, therefore, focused on the synthesis of porous geopolymer by metakaolin as a pozzolan and mixed with alkali solution consisting of 8M NaOH and Na2SiO 3 as well as Al-powder as a foaming agent. The highly porous geopolymers were produced with various Al-powders as 0%, 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6% 0.8% and 1% by weight. After 7, 14 and 28 days age, the specimens were tested the mechanical properties, such as compressive strength. The water absorption, apparent porosity and bulk density were analyzed at 28 days age. The synthesis of metakaolin-based porous geopolymers with Al-powder presented good results. It showed that Al-powder content affected to degree of porosity of geopolymers and 0.2% Al-powder was the optimal Al-powder content for the porous geopolymer. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
