被引用回数:2 パーセンタイル:90.08(Chemistry, Inorganic & Nuclear)The process of zeolite formation for geopolymer-zeolite composites can be explained using ATR/FTIR spectroscopy. The process consists of the dissolution of silica and alumina precursors from the alkali activation process of metakaolin with NaOH solution. Thereafter, the formation of hydrated aluminosilicate primary units and secondary units occurs. Finally, the units are reorganized and crystallized into the zeolite structure. The increase in the alkali activator concentrations promotes the high dissolution of raw materials. Na cations play an important role in dissolution and synthesis. The higher the alkali activator concentration, the higher the tetrahedron condensation rate and the greater the degree of structure ordering. The phases in alkali activation of metakaolin with different NaOH concentrations (Na/Al) at 1.18, 2.03, and 3.05 were zeolite-A, zeolite-X, and sodalite zeolite. Finally, the possible pathway of zeolite formation was explained and deduced.

被引用回数:1 パーセンタイル:92.21(Chemistry, Physical)Attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy was used to demonstrate the reaction mechanisms of alkali-activated materials (AAMs) and the early stage of structure formation in the materials. The effects of different types of alkali activator solutions on the structure formation and reaction mechanisms of AAMs were studied. The results revealed that the main peaks of the ATR-FTIR spectra of the AAMs in the 1300-650 cm range shifted to a low wavenumber with changing patterns depending on the activator solution used, indicating that the dissolution and reorientation of metakaolin had occurred. Silica and alumina monomers were dissolved by the NaOH solution to produce crystalline zeolites. Although the reaction between metakaolin and NaSiO solution is slow, the condensation between the Al-OH from metakaolin and the Si-OH from NaSiO solution bonded the chain to be longer. Therefore, the NaSiO solution acted as a template-bonded monomer, formed long chains of Si-O-Si and Si-O-Al, and produced an amorphous AAM structure. In the mixed solution, when the NaOH in it dissolved the Si and Al monomers, the NaSiO in the solution also bonded with monomers and produced a complex structure. The different reaction that metakaolin had with different alkali activator solutions reflected the different phases, microstructures, and mechanical properties of the AAMs produced.
