Subsequently, the alkaline activation of the geopolymer was performed with the use of NaOH and Na2SiO3 identified as alkaline activators, in 5 cm of edge cube tested to identify its compressive strength and performing an analysis of the data obtained, it was possible to identify that pumice has the characteristics and compressive strength to be considered a precursor material for geo polymers. With the results obtained from the alkaline activation, we proceeded to incorporate aggregates for the creation of geopolymer concrete by elaborating cylinders of 7.5 cm in diameter by 15 cm high and tested to identify their compressive strength. As soon as the results of the data obtained from the alkaline activation was tabulated by means of a statistical analysis and a multi-criteria analysis was carried out with the aim of consulting experts in the field in order to determine which of the three deposits studied was the best with respect to the variables chosen, being: Compressive strength, curing temperature, NaOH/Na2SiO3 ratio, NaOH molar concentration, workability and porosity. Finally, an analysis was made by the researchers with the results and the experiences gained. Keywords: Alkali-activated cement, geopolymer, pumice stone, compressive strength, geopolymer concrete. |
