Abstract
AbstractInfluence of various types of nano powder on the physico-mechanical properties of geopolymer materials has been studied, in addition to studying their firing stability up to 1000 °C. Alumino–silicate materials used are kaolin, fired kaolin and lime stone. Materials prepared at water/binder ratios of 0.40; whereas the used equal volume of activator 5 M sodium hydroxide with liquid sodium silicate. Nano-kaolin admixed with Nano-powder as a partial replacement from metakaolin material. The control mixes incorporating either 7% Nano-glass or 5% Nano-silica fume. Nano-kaolin was partially replaced Nano-glass powder and Nano-silica fume. It is possible to use the mixes containing limestone and nano materials to solve the problem of using heat curing, thermal energy consumption and pollution by reducing the MK used for MK-geopolymer cement. Results indicated an enhancement in the physico-mechanical properties of mix incorporating 1: 6% and 2:3% of NK:N-glass and NK:N-silica fume, respectively. Firing of hardened geopolymer resulted in high thermal resistance up to 700 °C then exposed to decrease up to 1000 °C. However, no micro-cracks were noticed up to 800 °C for all samples as recorded by visual examination of the fired samples, while micro-cracks were recorded for hardened composites at 1000 °C.
