Geopolymers are a class of aluminosilicate materials synthesized by alkaline or alkali-
silicate activation of solid alumina-and silica-containing precursor materials at ambient or …

Multi-technique characterisation of sodium carbonate-activated blast furnace slag binders
was conducted in order to determine the influence of the carbonate groups on the structural …

The effect of the NaOH content and the presence of sodium silicate activators on the
formation of crystalline phases from metakaolinite-based geopolymers were studied by X …

A commercial Chinese well crystalline kaolinite (KCh) and a poorly crystalline kaolinite (KGa-
2) from the Source Clay Repository of The Clay Minerals Society were used, after fusion with …

Kaoliniferous sand and washed industrial kaolin obtained from it were calcined (750° C) or
milling prior to activation with NaOH. The changes were characterized by pH, cation …

Reactions with aqueous sodium hydroxide of eight different kaolinites and of metakaolinites
derived from them were studied under hydrothermal conditions. All the kaolinites gave basic …

Kaolin exploitation remains a financially sustained profit making mining industry that
continues to contribute positively to national economies of the world. Its occurrence in Africa …

This is a comparative study of the synthesis of zeolite A from metakaolinite using both
conventional and microwave-assisted heating. The effects of reaction conditions on the rate …

The effect of temperature on leaching-precipitation kinetics of both meta-kaolin and kaolinite
was investigated. The dissolution of kaolin is the overall rate limiting step and only sodalite …

This paper reports the synthesis of nanosized γ-Al2O3 from acid-leachates of calcined
kaolin. Al (hydr) oxide was precipitated with ammonia from the leachate in the presence of …
