Abstract
To maximize the high-value application of fly ash, this study investigates the incorporation of amorphous silica derived from fly ash as a silicon source and lime milk as a calcium source into microporous calcium silicate powders through dynamic hydrothermal synthesis at 100 °C for a duration of 2 h or less. The products were collected at various synthesis intervals and analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and thermogravimetric differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC). Results indicate that microporous calcium silicate forms through a dynamic reaction that disrupts Si-O bonds, enhancing the mobility of silica-oxygen tetrahedra and generating H2SiO42−groups. Ca2+ ions also interact with these bonds, resulting in Q1 and Q2 forms of silica-oxygen tetrahedra. Phase transformation of calcium silicate at various intervals was noted, beginning with 3CaO·2SiO2·3H2O, shifting to 2CaO·3SiO2·2.5H2O, and finally to CaO·2SiO2·2H2O at 90 min. Thus, microporous calcium silicate evolves from an amorphous C-S-H gel into a crystalline form, featuring diverse calcium silicate minerals with calcium-silicon ratios and particle sizes between 10 and 20 μm, with sizes increasing until the 80-min.
期刊介绍:
Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties.
Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour.
Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
