Method for manufacturing geopolymer concrete components

Abstract

This invention relates to a method for producing construction components from Geopolymer materials, primarily using fly ash, which can be partially or fully replaced by other materials such as metakaolin, zeolite, rice husk ash, red mud, or industrial by-products. The method involves preparing a mixture of fly ash or Geopolymer materials (80-99.75% by weight), an alkaline activator (0.25-20%), and water (6-30%). The alkaline activator is mixed with water and fly ash to form Geopolymer mortar, which is shaped using methods such as hydraulic pressing, extrusion, rolling, or vibration. The product is cured by drying at temperatures from 60° C. to 250° C. This technology allows for the creation of various construction components, including bricks, panels, pipes, and beams, while enabling the absorption of greenhouse gases like CO2 and CH4, thus promoting environmental protection. Enhancing additives can be included to improve mechanical properties and durability.
