Effect of Synthesizing Parameters on Compressive Strength of Flyash Based Geopolymer Paste

Authors: Kushal Ghosh, Partha Ghosh

The objectives of the present research is to appreciate the effect of synthesizing parameters on engineering properties of Geopolymer composites manufactured using locally available low calcium fly ash . Fly ash used are lignite coal based and falls under class F category. The current research utilizes low calcium fly ash obtained from a thermal power plant located near Kolkata, India. The broad areas of present research include: Manufacturing of Geopolymer and a comprehensive study on the effect of synthesizing parameters on compressive strength of Geopolymer paste. The effect of synthesizing parameters such as Alkali content (Na2O/Al2O3), Silica content (SiO2/Al2O3) and Water to Geopolymer binder ratio have been studied and arrived at certain level of understanding regarding manufacturing and compressive strength, which will be useful to the researchers and manufacturers.
