Geopolymers: Structures, Processing, Properties and by J L Provis,J S J van Deventer

By J L Provis,J S J van Deventer

A geopolymer is an exceptional aluminosilicate fabric often shaped by means of alkali hydroxide or alkali silicate activation of a fantastic precursor equivalent to coal fly ash, calcined clay and/or metallurgical slag. at the present time the first program of geopolymer know-how is within the improvement of reduced-CO2 development fabrics instead to Portland-based cements. Geopolymers: constitution, processing, homes and business functions stories the most recent examine on and purposes of those hugely very important materials.

Part one discusses the synthesis and characterisation of geopolymers with chapters on themes equivalent to fly ash chemistry and inorganic polymer cements, geopolymer precursor layout, nanostructure/microstructure of metakaolin and fly ash geopolymers, and geopolymer synthesis kinetics. half experiences the manufacture and homes of geopolymers together with speeded up growing old of geopolymers, chemical toughness, engineering homes of geopolymer concrete, generating fireplace and heat-resistant geopolymers, utilisation of mining wastes and thermal homes of geopolymers. half 3 covers functions of geopolymers with assurance of issues corresponding to commercialisation of geopolymers for development, in addition to functions in waste management.

With its distinctive editors and foreign group of participants, Geopolymers: constitution, processing, homes and commercial purposes is a typical reference for scientists and engineers in and the tutorial area, together with practitioners within the cement and urban in addition to these thinking about waste relief and disposal.

  • Discusses the synthesis and characterisation of geopolymers with chapters protecting fly ash chemistry and inorganic polymer cements
  • Assesses the appliance and commercialisation of geopolymers with specific specialise in functions in waste management
  • Reviews the newest examine on and purposes of those hugely very important materials
