Investigation on the Degree of Reaction and Strength Performance of Fly Ash Based Geopolymer Binder with Alternnative Chemical Reagents

The existence of high calcium contents in fly ash will contribute to the rapid stiffening and low workability of geopolymer paste. This study reports the feasibility of sodium nitrate and citric acid as the alternative admixtures for geopolymer binder. The effects of sodium nitrate and citric acid w...

description The existence of high calcium contents in fly ash will contribute to the rapid stiffening and low workability of geopolymer paste.
