Incorporating industrial wastes in geopolymers reduced compressive strength, with values dropping below 8.1 MPa for certain samples.
Leaching tests indicated GPSW1 and GPSW4 released antimony above legal landfill limits, raising concerns for disposal.
The study found successful geopolymerization through alkali activation, confirmed by FT-IR analysis.
Antimicrobial activity was observed, particularly against E. coli, indicating potential for surface coatings.
