Solidification of Industrial Effluents into Geopolymer Matrix
In this work, geopolymers were produced by reacting metakaolin with industrial effluent from different sources. Instead of directly treating the raw effluent, it would be useful to utilize the effluent and turn it into a value-added substance such as geopolymer, thus will sustain the environment. Th...

In this work, geopolymers were produced by reacting metakaolin with industrial effluent from different sources. Instead of directly treating the raw effluent, it would be useful to utilize the effluent and turn it into a value-added substance such as geopolymer, thus will sustain the environment. The right compositions of the materials were determined before mixing to form a cubic shape of geopolymer composite. Each composite will undergo several tests to investigate its properties and characteristics. Such tests include density, Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), and compressive strength.
