Özet
This study examines the production of lightweight foamed geopolymers using aluminum powder as the main foaming agent and lime as both a partial replacement for ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS) and a secondary contributor to pore formation. While the individual effects of aluminum powder and lime have been reported in the literature, their combined use in GGBFS-based foamed geopolymers has received little attention. In particular, the influence of lime on both matrix development and pore generation remains unclear. Nine mixtures were prepared by varying the lime content between 0 and 20% and the aluminum powder dosage between 3 and 12 g. The results indicate that adding 10% lime produced the most balanced performance. At this level, the pore structure became more uniform, pore coalescence was reduced, and early-age strength improved compared with mixtures without lime …
