Geopolimers or alkali-activated binders could be defined in accordance with the chemical composition of raw materials used for preparation: alkali-activated binder on the fly ashes basis (blast furnance slag, rice rusk), alkali-activated binder on the metakaolin basis. Alternative procedure of geopolymer synthesis which does not require activation by alkaline silicate solution is based on preparation active geopolymer precursor by direct calcinations of low quality kaolin with Na/K hydroxides. However, stability of clay resources for the production of alkali-activated binders is restricted by the variability of clay composition of '''normal clays'.
