Abstract

Waste glass (WG) is one of the major constituents of municipal solid waste, rich in amorphous silica.. The present article comprehensively reviews the geopolymer materials synthesized with waste glass powder (WGP) as one of the precursors. The fresh, hardened and durability properties of the material are appraised, emphasizing the effect of synthesis parameters. The embodied energy and the embodied CO2 in WGP-based geopolymer are presented to highlight its sustainability. The workability and setting times of the geopolymer are highly influenced by the surface properties of the glass particle. A certain dosage of WGP significantly improves the mechanical and durability properties of the geopolymer. Further, other synthesis parameters such as the type of co-precursor, the particle size of WGP, the type of alkali activator and its concentration, and the liquid activator to solid binder ratio also cause predominant changes in the material properties. Durability studies on WGP-based geopolymers are limited, particularly the quantification of alkali-silica reactions and resistance towards chemical attacks. In addition, advanced sustainable studies are essential for promoting WGP-based geopolymer as a sustainable material. Overall, previous studies indicate the effective incorporation of WGP as a precursor material because of its relatively better performance than other cementitious materials. This review gives the researchers and field engineers a better understanding of utilizing WGP as a precursor in the synthesis of geopolymer.
