The present invention relates to dry particulate composition for forming a geopolymer, comprising an alkali metal hydroxide, an alkali metal silicate, and an aluminosilicate. The invention further relates to methods for forming geopolymers and geopolymers formed according to said methods or using the said dry particulate composition.

The present invention refers to a base formulation which serves to form a final product intended for the repair, maintenance or rehabilitation of concrete structures. Primarily, the base formulation contains cement in a percentage of 35% to 45% by weight of the final product. The base formulation also possesses amorphous glass in a proportion of 20% to 30% by weight of the final product, in ground from common glass, recycled glass or soda-lime glass. Finally, the base formulation may further possess solid quartz microspheres in a proportion of 10% to 20% by weight of the final product. This provides the final product with many desirable properties, such as high mechanical strength; high chemical resistance; easier application; easier ability to polish; prevents cold seals, leaving the final product thermally and dimensionally stable, among other desirable properties. The final products may include concrete correctors, waterproofing agents, coatings, among others.

Described are cementitious reagent materials produced from globally abundant inorganic feedstocks. Also described are methods for the manufacture of such cementitious reagent materials and forming the reagent materials as microspheroidal glassy particles. Also described are apparatuses, systems and methods for the thermochemical production of glassy cementitious reagents with spheroidal morphology. The apparatuses, systems and methods makes use of an in-flight melting/quenching technology such that solid particles are flown in suspension, melted in suspension, and then quenched in suspension. The cementitious reagents can be used in concrete to substantially reduce the CO.sub.2 emission associated with cement production.
