Effect of potassium‐waterglass composition on strength development and leaching behavior of geopolymers in different curing conditions by Umberto C. C. S. Siciliano, Ana C. C. Trindade, Flávio de Andrade Silva

“…Optimal ratios of H2O/K2O = 8.7 and K2O/Al2O3 = 1.3 were determined to be critical for achieving reliable strength measurements at 1 day of curing. pH assessments indicated strong water resistance in all GP formulations, with leaching primarily governed by diffusion mechanisms. Specifically, the K‐WG composition with SiO2/K2O = 1.53 and H2O/K2O = 8.69 showcased minimal leachability. …”
