Reactions, Phase Evolution, and Microstructure of Ambient-Cured Geopolymer with Delithiated β-Spodumene

Abstract

AbstractThis research examines the feasibility of using delithiated β-spodumene (DβS), a lithium refining by-product with great pozzolanic properties, as a substitute for fly ash (FA) in geopolymer mortar made with 75% FA and 25% ground granulated blast-...The graphical abstract consists of three main sections illustrating the evaluation of geopolymer mortar. The left section presents the raw materials: fly ash (FA), ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), and delithiated β-spodumene (DβS), which are ...
