Abstract
Fly ash (FA), a solid waste produced during coal combustion in power plants, is a toxic, corrosive, and radioactive pollutant. However, FA can be used to create fly ash geopolymer (FAG), which is used in construction and building materials to replace Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). FAG is generally more durable and stronger than OPC, but its strength depends on many parameters. This study aims to determine the effect of curing temperature on the creation of a geopolymer from FA, as well as its chemical bonding, compressive strength, and morphological features.
