Abstract
Optimal conditions have been found for lime treatment of diatomite from the Jradzor deposit (Armenia) which ensure that the resulting calcium metasilicate hydrate has a large specific surface area, high adsorption capacity, and good filtration performance. Differential thermal analysis, IR spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction have been used to identify the mechanism underlying the formation of a C–S–H(I) calcium metasilicate hydrate during lime treatment of diatomite. Water and benzene vapor adsorption isotherms have been used to assess adsorptive and structural properties of the C–S–H(I) calcium metasilicate hydrate and calculate parameters of its pore structure. It is shown that C–S–H(I) calcium metasilicate hydrate can be effectively used as a filtration material and adsorbent.
期刊介绍:
Inorganic Materials is a journal that publishes reviews and original articles devoted to chemistry, physics, and applications of various inorganic materials including high-purity substances and materials. The journal discusses phase equilibria, including P–T–X diagrams, and the fundamentals of inorganic materials science, which determines preparatory conditions for compounds of various compositions with specified deviations from stoichiometry. Inorganic Materials is a multidisciplinary journal covering all classes of inorganic materials. The journal welcomes manuscripts from all countries in the English or Russian language.
