Abstract

This article discusses the scientific and practical foundations for recycling solid industrial and construction waste generated in the Aral Sea region, as well as the production of geopolymer binders from them. During the research, a comprehensive analysis of solid waste from JSC “Takhiatash TPP” and construction residues (concrete, brick, glass) accumulated in the region's landfills was conducted. The study examined statistical data revealing that 697,000–920,000 tons of solid waste are generated annually in the region, of which 70–75% is disposed of in landfills. As a result of a comparative study of raw materials, it was proven that concrete waste is the most optimal and stable predominant raw material for the synthesis of geopolymers. Additionally, an analysis of the HS codes (HS 2523, HS 681099) for special cements and artificial stone products imported into our country was carried out, which made it possible to justify the economic efficiency of establishing local geopolymer production.
