abstract = "The effect of Ca2+ amount and sintering temperature on mechanical properties of
geopolymer-brushite (GPB) binders was investigated. Brushite and raw abandoned kaolinite
clay thermally transformed into metakaolin were used for GPB synthesis. The complete phase
and structural analyses were performed by X-ray powder diffraction, and Fourier transforms
infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The pore-filling effect as a consequence of Ca2+ ions
incorporation into the hybrid geopolymer networks improved the compressive strength. On
the other hand, the chosen biscuit sintering at 800 and 900o
C caused the phase
transformation of brushite into calcium pyrophosphate, which negatively affected the
compressive strength of such materials. The obtained results indicate that the usage of
relatively high sintering temperatures is not always the necessary step for producing
geopolymer-based types of cement with prominent mechanical properties.",
