ED - Schmidt, Wolfram T1 - Strength development and characterization of the reaction products of a one-part-geopolymer derived from a silica residue and sodium aluminate N2 - A silica-rich residue from waste-water treatment of chlorosilane production was tested for its applicability for the production of one-part geopolymers. The residue was blended with solid sodium aluminate, the blend activated with water and cured at 70 °C. The degree of reaction and strength were determined after 1,3, and 7 days. The reaction products were analyzed by means of powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), nitrogen Sorption, and small-angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS). Until the third day of curing the degree of reaction of the residue reached 51% and the strength reached 8.9 MPa. The reaction product was identified as geopolymer containing zeolite A. The results thus confirmed that the residue may be used in the production of geopolymers. However, from 3 to 7 days of curing no further progress of reaction was observed and the strength slightly decreased. It was observed that even harsh vacuum drying left some water, presumably zeolitic water and surface hydroxyl groups, in the hardened geopolymer, the volume fraction of the emptied pores was approximately 45%. The SEM and SAXS analyses showed the gel-like microstructure of the geopolymer with diameters of the gel particles of about 70 nm on average. In line with this colloidal particle size, the specific surface area of the geopolymer was measured by SAXS to be approximately 120 m2/g. On the contrary, nitrogen Sorption measurements yielded a specific surface area of only 13 mz/g and did not show the presence of micropores, which is attributable to the inaccessibility of the pores of the geopolymer and the zeolites for nitrogen at the measurement temperature.
