Utilization of Calcium Carbide Residue as Solid Alkali for Preparing Fly Ash-Based Geopolymers: Dependence of Compressive Strength and Microstructure on Calcium Carbide Residue, Water Content and Curing Temperature
Calcium carbide residue (CCR) is a solid waste resulting from acetylene gas production. In this study, CCR was used as an alkali activator to prepare fly ash (FA)-based geopolymers without any alkali supplementation. We studied the factors (FA/CCR ratio, curing temperature, and water/binder ratio) i...
