Abstract

Geopolymers are formed from silica and alumina oxides mixed with alkali hydroxide or alkali silicate. This paper presents the findings on the study of the solidification of fly ash geopolymer through setting time by varying alkaline activators, their concentrations and geopolymer curing temperature. This work focuses on the transformation of geopolymer from liquid paste to solid through Avrami�s Kinetic Theory. From the experimental results, alkaline activation with sodium silicate produced shortest time for geopolymer solidification as compared to KOH and NaOH. The increase in concentrations of alkaline solution and curing temperatures were found to reduce setting time for geopolymer�s solidification. From Avrami theory perspective, the growth forms of geopolymer in the geopolymerization process exhibit two and three dimensional structure with the presence of secondary nucleation. © 2014 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
