Performance Study on Laterite Block with Perlite

The term “perlite” refers to an amorphous volcanic silicate/alumina rock that can expand at temperatures between 900 and 1200 ∼C when heated fast. Because perlite is so versatile, it can be applied in a variety of sectors, including construction, horticulture, petrochemical, and industrial. An item...

Description
Summary:The term “perlite” refers to an amorphous volcanic silicate/alumina rock that can expand at temperatures between 900 and 1200 ∼C when heated fast. Because perlite is so versatile, it can be applied in a variety of sectors, including construction, horticulture, petrochemical, and industrial. An item that is used in the construction sector is expanded perlite (EP). It can be used as an input for geopolymers or mixed with aggregate or cement to create conventional cementitious materials. EP offers low density, effective thermal and acoustic insulation, and exceptional fire resistance for buildings. Perlite appears to be a necessary material as a result. The author of this article examines the effects of EP, a chemical used in building materials, on the properties of geopolymers, different types of binder, and regular cementitious materials, both in their fresh and hardened states. The usefulness of using perlite-reinforced laterite blocks as a sustainable building material is investigated in this work. We investigate this composite’s potential for usage in building applications by thoroughly examining its mechanical and thermal properties. The results provide insight into how robust and eco-friendly construction practices could be supported by increasing structural strength and thermal efficiency.
