The sustainable construction of the future requires materials that consume less energy, emit fewer greenhouse gases and reuse waste that is harmful to the environment, such as discarded glass, one of the main waste products in the production chain. This research developed geopolymers, inorganic polymers formed by the activation of amorphous aluminosilicates in an alkaline medium, using me-takaolin and blast furnace slag as precursors and recycled glass microparticles as an additive. Com-positions were formulated with glass contents ranging from 0% to 60%, in particle size ranges of < 38 μm, 38-45 μm, 45-75 μm and 75-180 μm, and alkaline hydroxide and sodium silicate activators. Compression tests carried out on cylindrical specimens after 7 days of curing revealed that the addi-tion of 40% glass with a grain size of 38-45 μm resulted in an 80% increase in compressive strength compared to the unmodified material, reaching values of over 40 MPa. Microstructural analysis by SEM and EDS confirmed greater density and reduced porosity in the geopolymer matrix. Tensile adhesion tests also indicated the viability of the material as a substrate for coatings, meeting the demands of the construction industry. It is concluded that geopolymers with added recycled glass combine high mechanical performance and sustainability, promoting circular economy and repre-senting a viable alternative to the use of Portland cement.

The knowledge of factors that influence the rheology of bauxite pulp is necessary and important for the quality control of the flow through the pipeline process.This work evaluated the effect of different granulometric fractions (-100#+150#; -150#+200#; -200#+270#; -270#+325# and -400#) on rheology of bauxite pulp that is carried through Mineração Paragominas S/A (MPSA) pipelines. Distinct fractions of bauxite obtained by wet screening were analyzed by an X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD) to determine the mineralogical composition of the samples. The results of those analysis revealed that each fraction has a similar composition (gibsite, kaolinite, hematite, goethit and anatase) though different proportion in the fractions. The studies of rheological parameters were developed by using Thermo Scientific HAAKE Viscotester 550 and the SV1 coaxial cylinder sensor at 30ºC. Bauxite pulps, with constant solids content and equal to 50 wt% were prepared in order to simulate the actual conditions of flow through the pipeline. Testing of apparent viscosity curves versus additive concentration were carried out using sodium polyacrylate at concentrations that ranged from 0 – 1 wt% in order to determine the optimal concentration of additive necessary to stabilize the bauxite pulp. From the results found of optimal concentration of sodium polyacrylate, the hysteresis tests were performed. It was found that the smaller the average particle diameter, the greater the amount of additive is necessary to stabilize the pulp and the addition of sodium polyacrylate in the finer fraction of bauxite caused the flocculation of system. In general, the rheological behavior of the bauxite pulps with their optimal concentrations of sodium polyacrylate was shown to be non-Newtonian and time dependent, with rheopetic behavior for fractions with granulometry between 127 and 48.5 micrometers and thixotropic behavior to fine fraction with average diameter smaller than 37 micrometers. The bauxite pulp formulated with the fine particle size and without addition of sodium polyacrylate showed rheopetic behavior. It was observed, for the dispersed bauxite pulps, that the decrease the average particle size influences the size of the hysteresis area formed, causing a decrease in rheopetic behavior.
