Abstract

Abstract Efflorescence seriously affects the practical application of geopolymer. In this study, fly ash based geopolymer was prepared by raw materials containing different Si/Al ratios. A test method of the efflorescence degree of geopolymer was proposed and applied. The effects of the Si/Al ratio on products, microstructure, pore structures, compressive strength, water loss rate and efflorescence of geopolymer were systematically investigated. The reaction products and structures of geopolymer were tested by XRD, FTIR, TG-DTA, SEM-EDS and BET. The results showed that the efflorescence degree of different samples can be compared by the test method simply, effectively and quantitatively. The products of geopolymer were mainly amorphous gels N(C)-A-S-H containing large amounts of Si and Al components. The structures, properties and efflorescence degree of the geopolymer were different due to the different Si/Al ratio. When the Si/Al ratio of geopolymer was 1.5, the content of [AlO4]- structures was highest, while the volume and size of pore were relatively small. The dense matrix and [AlO4]- structures of geopolymer can reduce the efflorescence degree significantly. This study can provide a reference for future investigation about efflorescence inhibition and efflorescence test methods of geopolymer.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
