GEOPOLYMER BINDER AN APPROACH TOWARDS COMPLETE CEMENT REPLACEMENT

Construction industry is constantly growing globally hence the raw material required is also in heavy demand. At the same time due to fast industrialization, the industrial waste generation is creating a big threat at its disposal. It leads to a lot of environmental problems due to its hazardous characteristics. Though these are wastes; some are having rich characteristics hidden in them that can be utilized to make these wastes a useful raw material. In this paper, an attempt has been made to analyze the characteristics of the industrial waste and utilize them as a binder in construction by keeping in view the objective of complete cement replacement. As there are no any standard specifications for geopolymer mix the compositions are based on trial and error basis. https://journalnx.com/journal-article/2015048
