摘要
Two Tunisian clays, kaolinitic from the Tabarka (Clay T) region and illito-kaolinitic rich in hematite from the Medenine (Clay M) region, are tested as potential aluminosilicate sources for the synthesis of geopolymers. The raw clays and clays calcined at 700, 800, 850 and 900 degrees C were characterized using XRD, DTA/FG, and FTIR spectroscopy and Si-29 and Al-22 MAS NMR measurements. It was demonstrated that samples based on Clay M present more reactivity than those based on the Clay T because of the amorphization of clay minerals. The structural evolution on calcination is studied in detail to predict the behavior of the clay during geopolymerization. Despite its lower content in kaolinite than Clay T, Clay M is capable of providing geopolymers. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
