    GEOPOLYMER

    CEMENT
    CONCRETE
    Sneha Sara Varghese

    GEOPOLYMER CONCRETE
    Green Concrete
    Hardened cementations paste made
    from flyash and alkaline solution.
    Combines waste products into useful
    products.
    Setting mechanism depends on
    polymerization.
    Curing temperature is between 60-90
    degree.

    WHY NO PCC?
    Conventional
    Portland cement
    concrete
    production :
    causes air
    pollution and
    carbon emissions
    is responsible for
    at least 7% of
    our worldwide

    Potential to
    substantially
    curb carbon
    dioxide
    emissions
    Produces a more
    durable
    infrastructure
    Conserve land
    currently used
    for disposal of
    coal combustion
    products.

    WHY GCC?

    CONSTITUENTS
    Source material - Alumina silicate
    Alkaline liquids combination of
    sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or
    potassium hydroxide (KOH) and
    sodium silicate or potassium silicate

    PROCESS
    Alkaline solutions induce the Si and
    Al atoms in the source materials (eg:
    flyash), to dissolve.
    Gel formation is assisted by applying
    heat.
    Gel binds the aggregates, and the
    unreacted source material to form
    the Geopolymer concrete.

    PROPERTIES
    Non-toxic, bleed free
    Sets at room temperature
    Long working life before stiffening
    Impermeable
    Higher resistance to heat
    Resist all inorganic solvents
    Higher compressive strength

    ADVANTAGES
    Cutting the worlds carbon.
    The price of fly ash is low.
    Better compressive strength.
    Fire proof
    Low permeability
    Eco-friendly
    Excellent properties within both acid
    and salt environments.

    DISADVANTAGES
    Different source materials
    Properties of soluble silicate
    Contaminants
    Industry regulations
    New material
    Lack of awareness

    APPLICATIONS
    Pre-cast concrete products like
    railway sleepers, electric power
    poles, parking tiles etc.
    Marine structures due to resistance
    against chemical attacks.
    Waste containments (fly ash)
    Futuristic use in building projects.

    GEOPOLYMERS mortar
    after the 1.5-year

    CONCLUSION

    The reduced Carbon dioxide


    emissions of Geopolymer cements
    make them a good alternative to
    ordinary Portland cement.
    GCC mixes can be designed to have
    similar physical and mechanical
    characteristics to PCC mixes with
    only a fraction of the environmental
    footprint.
    Better than traditional cements in
    most properties.
    Excellent properties within both acid
    and salt environments.
