1. A method of producing geopolymer cement comprising:
providing a geopolymer cement binder comprising:
a geopolymer precursor; and
magnesium oxide as an alkali activator; and
mixing the geopolymer cement binder with water including mechanically breaking down one or more of the geopolymer precursor and the magnesium oxide to react and form one or more of hydrotalcite phases and magnesium-silicate-hydrate phases, wherein mixing the geopolymer cement binder with water includes using high shear mixing including one or more of:
mixing with an overhead mixer having a toothed dispersion blade;
mixing with a rotor-stator high shear in line mixer; and
mixing with a multi-stage cylinder mixer.
