Effect of Alumina Release Rate on the Mechanism of Geopolymer Gel Formation

Hajimohammadi, Ailar, Provis, John L., van Deventer, Jannie S. J.·2010·Chemistry of Materials

Abstract

The effect of the rate of alumina release during the reaction of a one-part (just-add-water) geopolymer mix on growing geopolymer gels is investigated by coupling time-resolved and spatially resolved infrared spectroscopic analysis. The rate of alumina release from different precursors has previously been identified as a critical controlling factor in the formation of mechanically strong and durable geopolymers; however, its influence on the nanostructure of the geopolymer gel has never before been directly analyzed. Gel microstructure and nanostructure are able to be observed by synchrotron radiation-based infrared microscopy (SR-FTIR) with hierarchical clustering analysis, conducted in conjunction with the in situ attenuated total reflectance (ATR) FTIR technique to provide temporal resolution. The SR-FTIR technique provides the opportunity to analyze the chemistry of the heterogeneous geopolymer binder at a level of detail that previously has not been available. Although spatially averaged (ATR-FTIR) infrared results show similar spectra for well-cured samples with different alumina release rates, SR-FTIR shows that the gels are markedly different, with less unreacted silica particles remaining in geopolymer gels with slow alumina release, but greater homogeneity when alumina is released more rapidly. Rapid release of alumina is shown to impede the dissolution of silica particles in the early stages of the reaction; thus, the participation of alumina in forming geopolymer gels appears to be more beneficial to geopolymer nanostructural development when it becomes available in the later stages of the reaction process.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
