Volcanic ash is a product from an explosive type of volcanic eruptions. Fresh particles of volcanic ash are gritty, abrasive, vexatious and corrosive with huge scale dispersion. Consequently, it is the need of the hour to dispose this waste systematically to have relief from dilemmas like land fillings; climatic changes, pollution of the environment, water, and health hazards although the soil is a mineral intake. This crucially reviewed manuscript includes not merely the comprehension of the incorporation of volcanic ash to develop novel green Geopolymer composites but also to study its impact on the geopolymerization reaction kinetics and reactivity at dissimilar temperatures along with a precise account of its chemistry, mineralogy and the morphology.
