Abstract:
Electroconductive hydroxy-sodalite/graphite composites were synthesized by
alkali-activation of kaolinite in the presence of sodium hydroxide as the alkali
activator and graphite as a conductive filler. Thermal, morphological and microstructural
properties in addition to direct current (D.C.) con

Abstract:
An experimental investigation was conducted on the alkali activation of a kaolinitic clay using an alkaline mixture composed of hydrated lime (Ca(OH)2) and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) solution. The Ca(OH)2/Na2CO3 alkaline mixture was developed to overcome the high cost and chemical aggression associat

Abstract:
Hydroxysodalite (H-SOD) microcrystalline particles were synthesized from basalt powder rich in calcicplagioclase
(anorthite) by alkali activation at 80 C/24 h. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution was used as
alkaline activator. The reactivity of the natural solid precursor basalt was studied using d

Abstract:
An environmental friendly building material was developed by alkali-activation of untreated kaolinitic
clay using sodium hydroxide. The reaction was studied using differential scanning calorimetry. The
chemical structure of the produced inorganic polymer was deduced from infrared spectroscopy, X-r

Abstract:
In this study, a new approach, which involves the
application of a steam curing cycle for the production of
kaolinite-based geopolymers, is investigated. This approach
aimed to accelerate geopolymeric reactions and eliminate the
content of residual alkalis within the geopolymer mass and

Abstract:
A hydroxy-sodalite/cancrinite zeolite composite was synthesized from low-grade calcite-bearing kaolin by hydrothermal alkali-activation method at 160 °C for 6 h. The effect of calcite addition on the formation of the hydroxy-sodalite/cancrinite composite was investigated using artificial mixtures. T

Abstract:
The formation of metal oxide-based hydroxysodalite by alkali-activation of
kaolinite is studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD) study and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. Different metal oxides (CoO, MgO, FeO and

Abstract:
Three Jordanian raw materials, namely Jordanian Hiswa kaolinite, Jordanian volcanic tuff and Jordanian smectite rich clay, are investigated on their potential for use as an alkali activated cement. A dissolution study of these materials already indicates that the tuff sample reacts slower than the t
