The present invention relates to a method of preparing a geopolymer using a coal bottom ash. In the method, an alkali activating agent is used in a relatively smaller amount than in a conventional technology so that the mixture of the coal bottom ash and the alkali activating agent does not become a gel state, and a process for radiating a microwave is further provided after curing of a geopolymer specimen in an oven.

Systems and methods for forming a permanent plug in a subterranean formation include providing a solution of colloidal silica and pumping the colloidal silica into a bore of a subterranean well so that the colloidal silica penetrates pores of the subterranean formation. The colloidal silica within the pores of the subterranean formation is dehydrated to form a glass-like material within the pores of the subterranean formation.

The present invention relates to relates to method for producing construction aggregate, comprising the steps of:

(i) preparing materials, which comprises (% by weight): fly ash (80 to 99.75%); alkaline activator (0.25 to 20%); water (6 to 30% of total weight of fly ash and alkaline activator);

(ii) mixing the alkaline activator with all the aforementioned water amount to create alkaline activator solution, after which will be mixed with fly ash to create geopolymer mortar;

(iii) molding the geopolymer mortar with the compressive force of 2 MPa and more with desired dimension, wherein the molding is carried out with hydraulic pressing, extrusion, rolling or tablet lamination.

(iv) solidifying; and

(v) optionally, crushing the construction aggregate obtained above to a predefined dimension.

Besides, the present invention relates to the construction aggregate from fly ash obtained by the above mentioned method.
