Utilisation of Biosilica as Active Silica Source for Metakaolin-Based Geopolymers
This study explores the potential of biosilica including diatom and diatomaceous earth as alternative silica sources for metakaolin-based geopolymers. Diatomaceous earth, composed of fossilised diatom frustules rich in amorphous silica, and diatoms, a sustainable source of renewable biosilica, are investigated for their effectiveness in enhancing geopolymer properties. Through detailed analyses including FTIR, XRD, and SEM, the study evaluates the impact of these biosilica sources on geopolymer compressive strength and microstructure, comparing them with conventional sodium silicate. Results show that diatoms exhibit significant promise, achieving 28-day strength up to 17.9 MPa at a 30% mass fraction, while diatomaceous earth reaches 26.2 MPa at a 50% addition rate, demonstrating their potential as active silica sources. Furthermore, the study elucidates the role of organic matter in biosilica on geopolymerisation, highlighting its influence on active silica release and the strength performance of products. This study proposes a novel pathway to enhance the sustainability of geopolymers through the utilisation of biosilica from diatoms, contributing to advancements in eco-efficient construction materials.
