Microwave Curing of FA- and MK-Based Geopolymer Gels: Effects on Pore Structure, Mechanical Strength, and Heavy Metal Leachability

Microwave curing has proven to be a highly effective method for enhancing the structural integrity, compressive strength, and heavy metal immobilization performance of geopolymer (GP) gels. For fly ash-based GP gels, optimal compressive strength (126.84 MPa) and minimal heavy metal ion leaching (0.0...
