Geopolymer concrete is a new building material that is environmentally benign and an alternative to conventional Portland cement concrete. The fundamentals of the process: a binder is formed using alkali-activated aluminosilicate ingredients (for instance, fly ash and metakaolin). To activate the aluminosilicate materials, a process known as geopolymerization requires silica and either alumina or silica–alumina species to dissolve in a highly alkaline environment, then condense and rearrange to form a three-dimensional network structure. The geopolymerization process is generally initiated by combining aluminosilicate precursors with alkaline activators like sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or potassium hydroxide (KOH), and frequently sodium or potassium silicate. The aluminosilicate materials break down upon activation in a manner that transports reactive silica and alumina species into the solution. These species are then recombined into oligomers, which finally polymerize into a gel-like structure as their reaction progresses. The final geopolymer matrix is formed when this gel gradually hardens and crystallizes. This binder synthesis process produces a geopolymer binder with superior mechanical qualities, durability, and fire resistance. For strength development, geopolymer concrete relies on the formation of aluminosilicate gel rather than calcium silicate hydrate (C–S–H) gel. Because of its special chemistry and ability to provide high early strength, minimal shrinkage, and—above all—great chemical attack resistance, geopolymer concrete is appropriate for a variety of applications in aggressive environments. The main advantage of geopolymer concrete over traditional Portland cement concrete is that it is much further from generating a significant carbon footprint, making it the perfect choice if you care about it.
