One of the most important greenhouse gases that cause global warming and climate change is CO2. A significant amount (6-8%) of this gas emission is due to cement production. For this reason, researchers have been working intensively on geopolymer, which is an alternative sustainable binding material to cement, for nearly two decades. Geopolymer production mainly consists of an alumino-silicate source such as waste by-products (fly ash, blast furnace slag etc.) or natural mineral materials (volcanic ash, clay, pumice, etc.) and activators such as NaOH, Na2SiO3, etc. In this study, geopolymer production from perlite containing alumino silicate and found in significant amount in Erzurum Pasinler region was investigated. Only NaOH was used as an alkali activator in the mixtures, and as a result of preliminary experiments, heat curing at 90°C was applied for 72 hours. The water absorption rates, unit volume weights and 3, 7, 28 and 150 days compressive strength of the produced samples were determined. In addition, samples were exposed to 5% concentrated HCl and MgSO4 solutions, 50 cycles of freeze-thaw effect and high temperatures of 300°C, 500°C and 700°C, and the mechanical and physical properties of the samples were determined. As a result, maximum 21.14 MPa compressive strength was obtained by using NaOH alone in the production of perlite based geopolymer.
