This paper studied the influence of activator composition on the properties of calcined kaolin geopolymeric powder. The alkaline activation of calcined kaolin was performed in mixture of waterglass liquid and NaOH solution ...

This paper reported the properties of kaolin geopolymers in term of the bulk density, compressive strength, qualitative observation and SEM analysis of the kaolin geopolymers. Kaolin geopolymers were synthesized through ...

This paper covers the results of X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) in assessing the phase identification and functional group of kaolin geopolymer based on the different ...

The properties of metakaolin geopolymer paste are affected by the alkali concentration, the initial raw materials, solidification process, and amount of mixing water as well as the curing conditions. This study aimed to ...

Kaolin geopolymers exhibit low strength properties due to its plate-like nature which contribute to smaller surface area for geopolymerization reactions. Layered kaolin structure only allows very little, if any, substitution ...

Kaolin geopolymers were produced by the alkali-activation of kaolin with an activator solution (a mixture of NaOH and sodium silicate solutions). The NaOH solution was prepared at a concentration of 6-14 mol/L and was mixed ...

Oxide molar ratios are the main key parameter determining the performance of a kaolin geopolymers. The kaolin composition and various mixture proportions will lead to different oxide molar ratios in geopolymer system. In ...

This paper investigates the physical and mechanical properties as well as the morphology study of the MK geopolymeric binder. Mixture of waterglass liquid and NaOH solution were used as the activator solution for the ...

Geopolymers are inorganic alkali aluminosilicate gels, formed from reaction of mineral clays or aluminosilicate-bearing industrial wastes, and treated with alkali silicate solution at 40-80°C. Geopolymers have been studied ...

Alkali concentration is the most significant factor in geopolymerization process that must be taken into consideration during the synthesis of kaolin geopolymers. The kaolin geopolymers were prepared by mixing kaolin and ...
