Mechanical and Thermal Evaluation of Diatomite Doped Fly Ash Based Geopolymers

In this work, the properties of alkali silicate geopolymer type materials and diatomite as additive to fly coal ash was investigated using thermic coal plant’s fly ash in alkaline solution. The reacted products of alumino-silicate geopolymers using fly ash plus diatomite were pseudo-amorphous alumin...
