Abstract
Aggregates useful in building materials such as concrete are described. The aggregates may include fly ash and an inorganic polymer binder, which may be present as an outer layer on a core of fly ash. Methods of preparing the aggregates and concrete mixtures comprising the aggregates are also described. For example, the aggregates may be prepared by contacting fly ash agglomerates with an alkaline solution. The concrete mixtures may comprise the aggregates and a hydraulic cement.
