Strength and microstructural properties of mechanically-activated kaolin geopolymers
(Trans Tech Publications, 2012-12)
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 ...
Effect of curing profile on kaolin-based geopolymers
(Elsevier B.V., 2011)
Depending on the processing conditions, geopolymers can exhibit a wide variety of properties and characteristics. Curing profile serves as a crucial parameter in synthesis of geopolymers. In this paper, the influence of ...
Investigating the possibility of utilization of kaolin and the potential of metakaolin to produce green cement for construction purposes-A review
(INSInet Publication, 2011-09)
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 ...
Study on solids-to-liquid and alkaline activator ratios on kaolin-based geopolymers
(Elsevier Ltd., 2012-10)
Kaolin and alkali activator were mixed with the solids-to-liquid ratios in range of 0.60-1.20 (Al 2O 3/Na 2O molar ratio of 0.63-1.27). Sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide ranged between 0.16 and 0.36 (SiO 2/Na 2O molar ...
Potential application of kaolin without calcine as greener concrete: A review
(INSInet Publications, 2011-07)
Kaolin is a white raw material that has an essential constituent which makes it ideal for industrial applications such as green concrete. Based on a historical review, it appears that green polymeric composites created by ...
