Synthetic aggregates are fabricated from greater than approximately 70 wt % waste starting materials. Starting materials may be selected from granulated ground blast furnace slag, waste concrete fines, or sewage sludge ash, and mixtures thereof. The starting materials are bound together by a hydraulic cementitious binder either added to the starting materials or formed in situ. The waste starting materials, binder, and water are formed into pellets and subjected to a hydraulic reaction and carbonation in an atmosphere of greater than approximately 50% carbon dioxide at temperatures less than approximately 100 C. The resulting synthetic aggregate has a crush strength after a period of hardening equal to or greater than approximately 0.5 MPa.

Disclosed herein are a fly ash-based foam geopolymer, a preparation method therefor, and the use thereof. The fly ash-based foam geopolymer is prepared from raw materials comprising the following components in parts by weight: 900-1000 parts of a fly ash-based material; 600-700 parts of a composite alkali solution; 0-10 parts of a thickening agent; 2-6 parts of a foam stabilizer A; 5-10 parts of a water reducer; and 20-40 parts of a foaming agent. The preparation method of the present application is simple, and processes such as ball milling, water washing and calcining do not need to be carried out on the raw materials, such that the investment in a grinding equipment, a water washing equipment, a sewage treatment equipment, and a calcining equipment is reduced, and the energy consumption and carbon emissions are reduced. The fly ash-based foam geopolymer prepared by using the fly ash-based material as the main raw material in the present application has a low apparent density and a high early strength, and can be used in the field of fabricated buildings.
