Effects of calcination temperature of kaolinite clays on the properties of geopolymer cements

TL;DR: In this paper, the most convenient calcination temperature of kaolinite clays in view of producing geopolymer cements was determined by determining their setting time, linear shrinkage and compressive strength.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of adding alumina-oxide to metakaolin and volcanic ash on geopolymer products: A comparative study

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the properties of metakaolin and volcanic ash and investigated the effect of addition Al 2 O 3 to metakaolins and volcanic Ash-based geopolymers and synthesis at ambient temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI

FT-IR Spectroscopy Applied for Surface Clays Characterization *

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the determination of Lewis and Bronsted acid sites on the clay surface, a critical review of the sample preparation, the surface characterization of bulk clay and the modified surface clay samples using FT-IR spectroscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Potential of using granite waste as raw material for geopolymer synthesis

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential of using granite waste (GW) as raw material for geopolymer synthesis was investigated, and the results showed that the reactivity of GW is improved by alkali fusion method.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functionalization of natural smectite-type clays by grafting with organosilanes: physico-chemical characterization and application to mercury(II) uptake

TL;DR: In this article, the surface properties of organosilane-modified smectite-type clays were examined by various physico-chemical techniques, including thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), surface area measurements from N2 adsorption/desorption experiments (BET method), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), chemical stability measurements in aqueous medium, and elemental analysis.
