    Geopolymer is synthesized by polycondensation of SiO4 and AlO4 aluminosilicate complexes, tetrahedral frames linked with shared sialate oxygen. This paper studies the effect of the solids-to-fluids (S/L) and Na2SiO3/NaOH proportions on the preparing of metakaolin inorganic membrane geopolymer. By consolidating a mixture of metakaolin with sodium hydroxide, sodium silicate and foaming agent, the geopolymer membrane was made in required shape about 1 cm and cured at 80°C for 24 hours. After the curing process, the properties of the samples were tested on days 7. Sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution were utilized as an alkaline activator with a NaOH fixation fixed at 10 M. The geopolymer inorganic membrane tests were set up with various S/L proportions (0.8, 1.0, 1.2 and 1.4) and Na2SiO3/NaOH proportions (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5). Aluminium (Al) powder as a foaming agent was used to create bubbles in porous structure and provide details on the development of membrane geopolymers. This metakaolin membrane, based on the geopolymer, was synthesized by a suspension that depends on the fast cementing mechanism of high-temperature slurries. Porous geopolymeric circles provided a homogeneous composition and quantitative distribution of pores. The water absorption, density, impact toughness testing and microstructure analyses were studied. However, considering the promising results, an adjustment in the mix design of the metakaolin inorganic membrane geopolymer mixtures could increase their mechanical properties without negatively affecting the mechanical properties and porosity, making these sustainable materials a suitable alternative to traditional porous cement concrete.

    Geopolymer-based products help eco-accommodating sources of materials such as metakaolin, slag or fly ash. This review explores the blend configuration to generate geopolymer-based metakaolin membrane metakaolin and to evaluate the impact of a range of geopolymer-based metakaolin sintering temperatures at a temperature of 50 °C, 60 °C, 70 °C and 80 °C. As the quick development of a modern culture contributes to a large increase in interest in water, adsorption is taken closer to examined waste water extraction of the adsorption and repulsion of a metakaolin membrane geopolymer. Membrane waste water treatment is chosen to explore simple and inorganic membrane preparation techniques that have long help lives and low production costs. Reviews for geopolymer-based metakaolin membrane were therefore synthesized via a suspension that depends on the quick solidification method of high temperature suspension geopolymer slurries that were used as an adsorbent for treating waste water. Porous geopolymeric spheres have developed a homogenous structure with the aid of electron microscopy and Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET) investigations.Since permeable materials are regularly adsorbents, this examination has analyzed the adsorption by membrane geopolymers of heavy metals. This finding will advance the formation of improved wastewater treatment systems and along these lines give an elective answer for ecological harm brought about by substantial metal contaminations. Along these lines, molar (SiO2/Na2O) ratio of metakaolin and sodium silicate are fundamental in assembling a sort of geopolymer-based inorganic membrane which does not require a high temperature sintering process. Adsorption and dismissal consolidated can be utilized for wastewater auxiliary electrical plating forms not exclusively to proficiently wipe out center and low groupings of overwhelming metals in wastewater yet in addition to wipe out little sub-atomic contaminants in wastewater.

    Geopolymer material was used as the raw material because it promotes the green technology. In this study, lightweight geopolymer was produced using fly ash as raw material with the addition of alkali activation which is mixture of sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide, foaming agent that gives lightweight properties and finally, underwent curing process. The molarity of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) used was fixed at 12 M while the ratio of fly ash to alkali activator (solid to liquid) used were varied in the range of 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 and 3.5, by mass. Besides that, foaming agent (Polyoxyethylene alkyether Sulfate) was added to the geopolymer sample to give the lightweight properties. The samples were cured at 80 °C for 24 hours in the oven for curing process and left at room temperature prior for testing for 14 days. The testing of sample was conducted in this study which includes density test, compression strength test, water absorption test and scanning electron microstructure (SEM) test. The results obtained for optimum solid to liquid ratio is 2.5, by mass with the optimum value of compressive strength density value. The mechanical and physical properties of lightweight geopolymer were based on the ASTM International Standard.

    Hazardous pollutants, especially heavy metals in wastewater, have become a major concern due to the high potential of causing serious problems to humans and aquatic ecosystems, such as adverse health effects, environmental damage, and air pollution. The adsorption process is widely used to remove heavy metals because it is inexpensive, simple, and environmentally friendly. However, recent studies have shown that some adsorbents such as activated carbon, ion exchange resins, and carbon nanotubes are becoming more expensive due to their complex production. Considering these problems, alkali-activated materials (AAMs) can be considered as a new potential adsorbent material due to their excellent physical, chemical, and mechanical properties, which make them suitable for use in the field of civil engineering. Dolomite is one of the AAMs that is capable of adsorbing hazardous pollutants such as heavy metals in wastewater due to its unique structure. This material is also classified as a cost-effective adsorbent because it is abundant and can be found all over the world. Nevertheless, few studies have focused on the adsorption method using dolomite as a precursor material to remove heavy metals in wastewater, and currently only limited studies focus on the relationship between dolomite and hydroxyapatite (HAP). In addition, some studies have shown that the properties of geopolymers can be improved (up to 40%) when a moderate amount of calcium-containing material is added to the geopolymer. Although they have been used as a stand-alone material with excellent properties, combining them with another material could be another way to improve their properties. Therefore, this review provides an in-depth analysis on the properties of dolomite as a new potential precursor material in combination with HAP for contaminant removal. This would help to find the best parameters for the geopolymerization process between dolomite and HAP to meet the adsorption method requirements. This paper also investigated the ability of HAP as a carrier with the combination of bacterial strains via an immobilization process to improve the properties of dolomite as a geopolymer adsorbent. A microbial community can also act as an adsorbent for the removal of heavy metals and inorganic/organic contaminants from wastewater. This review can serve as a basis for understanding the ability of dolomite/HAP as a new alkali-activated material in geopolymer adsorbents in combination with immobilizing bacteria to remove heavy metals in wastewaters.
