INDUSTRIAL SCALE GEOPOLYMER AIR CURED AERATED CONCRETE

This research explores a groundbreaking approach to industrial-scale lightweight block production by replacing conventional cement-based methods with geopolymer alkali chemicals. Traditional production processes often involve high energy consumption, notably in autoclave curing, and are cement-dependent, contributing to significant environmental impact. This study focuses on bridging the gap between laboratory experimentation and practical applications. Through meticulous mix design optimization, the research achieves remarkable results: non-autoclave aerated concrete blocks with a density of 750 kg per cubic meter and a compressive strength of 4.5 MPa.
