Characterization of mechanical and microstructural properties of palm oil fuel ash geopolymer cement paste

This study delineates activation of palm oil fuel ash (POFA) by a combination of sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide at 60 °C to be used as a geopolymer binder. Qualitative observations as well as compressive strength were recorded to assess the viability of POFA utilization. Also, XRD, SEM/EDX, DS...
