Synthesis and properties of inorganic polymers (geopolymers ... Springer
Wellreacted geopolymers with good compressive strengths (4458 MPa) were formed from highly alkaline residue from red mud (the residue remaining after extraction of alumina from bauxite by the Bayer Process) without the addition of strengthpromoting components, such as fly ash or ground slag, by adjusting the composition to an optimal SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of about 3 with silica fume.
