Abstract

The article delves into the critical environmental issues surrounding the cement industry, particularly the high CO2 emissions contributing to global warming. It introduces flyash-based geopolymer as a promising sustainable alternative to traditional Portland cement. The review traces the historical development of geopolymers, from ancient Roman concrete to modern alkali-activated binders. It explores the chemistry of geopolymerization, the microstructural analysis of geopolymers, and their relationship with mechanical strength and durability. The study also highlights the influence of various parameters such as alkaline liquid type and curing conditions on the geotechnical properties of flyash-based geopolymers. Notably, it includes a novel analysis of the inclusion of calcium-based waste materials in geopolymerization and a cost comparison with conventional cement. The article concludes with a detailed summary of the potential applications and benefits of geopolymers in the construction industry.
