| ABSTRACT |
In Malaysia, bricks are commonly used as wall, cladding and facing perimeter and garden wall, paving and flooring. There are different types of bricks that going to give different properties for different usage. The used of geopolymer in brick manufacturing can lead to high performance, strength and durability. The usage of geopolymer to replace the cement in brick making is because the production of cement was emitted the carbon dioxide CO2 gas to the atmosphere. The cement industry is held responsible for some of the CO2 emission, because the production of Portland Cenent which is widely being used in construction incredibely energy intensive to make and can emit up to 1 ton of carbon dioxide CO2 for every 1 ton of Portland cement product. However, the geopolymer is still new and there is no machine that can imorove the production of geopolymer brick which can promote the geopolymer based construction material such as brick. The production of this invention can meet current need and has a market value. This invention is machine to produce a brick by using geopolymer by using geopolymerization process.
