Abstract

Geopolymerisation behaviour of Imperial Smelting Furnace (ISF) Zn slag and granulated Cu�Ni slag,
mechanically activated in air and in CO 2 atmosphere (P = 10 5 Pa) has been studied by XRD, SEM, FTIR,
and isothermal conduction calorimetry. Mechanical activation of the slags has been carried out in a centrifugal-
planetary mill AGO-2. Geopolymer samples have been prepared by mixing of the mechanically activated
slag powders with NaOH solution or liquid glass and curing at (20–2) o C for up to 180 days. It has been
observed that the ISF Zn slag and the granulated Cu�Ni slag are suitable for the synthesis of building
materials through geopolymerisation. The effect of milling atmosphere on properties of geopolymers is
found to be alkaline reagent specific. A suitable combination of the milling atmosphere and alkaline reagent
is required to realize the beneficial effect on mechanical properties of the geopolymer.
