Abstract

This research is a preliminary study on synthesizing geoplymer using Mac Moh fly ash. Geopolymer is a new cementitious material synthesized from raw materials consisting of amorphous silica and alumina activated with alkali solution. From the experiment, it was found that geopolymer could be synthesized from Mae Moh fly ash using sodium silicate solution and sodium or potassium hydroxide solution and 60ºC curing temperature. Furthermore, it was found that fly ash fineness, concentration and type of alkali solution and the amount of super plasticizer affected the strength of the geopolymer.
