Abstract
The study investigates the effect of sludge waste from mining and washing of limestone on the properties of geopolymer binders based on metakaolin and blast furnace slag. The effect of adding two types of limestone sludge on workability, setting time, compressive strengths, durability and pore distribution was investigated. Limestone sludge was dosed in an amount of 0–30 %. Sodium water glass was used as an alkaline activator in the ratio of 5:4. A linear correlation between the flowability and limestone sludge content was observed, and very satisfactory results of compressive strength after 90 days were obtained for samples with sodium water glass (about 55 MPa). The positive effect of CaCO3 on strength was confirmed. The increased content of clay components resulted in a reduction of compressive strength.
