Development of novel geopolymeric foam composites coated with polylactic acid to remove heavy metals from contaminated water

As an alternative for ordinary Portland cement, geopolymers are cost effective materials that can be prepared with relatively low energy consumption and substantial reduction of CO2 emissions. In the present study the characteristics of novel hybrid composite of geopolymer foam (GPF)/polylactic acid...

description As an alternative for ordinary Portland cement, geopolymers are cost effective materials that can be prepared with relatively low energy consumption and substantial reduction of CO2 emissions. In the present study the characteristics of novel hybrid composite of geopolymer foam (GPF)/polylactic acid (PLA) and their efficiency in removing copper(II) and zinc(II) to treat high volumes of polluted water are investigated. Contrary to the conventional methods for removing heavy metals, the newly developed composites are ecological, low-cost, easily available, and economically viable alternatives providing good physical-chemical stability, ion-exchange properties, and a porous structure. Based on the sustainable advantage to produce geopolymers from recycled materials, GPFs were obtained from blast furnace slag (BFS) by reacting 20 ml of an 8 M alkaline solution of sodium metasilicate (Na2SiO3) with BFS particles and later addition of hydrogen peroxide.
