The results show that the desilication ratio in the solution prepared by the addition of sodium silicate(solution-SS) is much greater than that in the solution by the addition of green liquor(solution-GL), and low alumina concentration in the sodium aluminate solutions facilitates the desilication process. It is also shown that alumino-silicate anions in the solution-GL, and Q^3 polymeric silicate anions in solution-SS are predominant, respectively. In addition, increasing the concentration of silica favors respectively the formation of the alumino-silicate or the Q^3 silicate anions in the solution-GL or the solution-SS. Therefore, it can be inferred that the low desilication ratio in the silicate-bearing aluminate solution is mainly attributed to the existence of alumino-silicate anions.展开更多

The geopolymeric structures of the products were investigated by 27Al and 29Si solid-state nuclear magnetic resonances with magic-angle spinning (MAS NMR), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), differential scanning colorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The reaction of the Al-O sheet in meakaolinite with low-order polymerized Si-O tetrahedral units such as monomer of SiO4 yields three-dimensional structures with the Q3 Si-O tetrahedral structure and the coordination of Al(IV) in the Al-O tetrahedral structure. The geopolymers are essentially X-ray amorphous. The assays by 27Al and 29Si NMR, FTIR confirm that the active structure in the metakaolinite is the sheet of Al-O with three coordination states.展开更多

In this study we analyze the concentration–discharge relationships of weathering products from global rivers using previously compiled time-series datasets for concentrations and discharge from global rivers. To analyze the nature of the covariation between specific discharge and concentrations, we use both a power law equation and a recently developed solute production equation. The solute production equation allows us to quantify weathering efficiency, or the resistance to dilution at high runoff, via the Damkohler coefficient. These results are also compared to those derived using average concentration–discharge pairs.Both the power law exponent and the Damkohler coefficient increase and asymptote as catchments exhibit increasingly chemostatic behavior, resulting in an inverse relationship between the two parameters. We also show that using thedistribution of average concentration–discharge pairs from global rivers, rather than fitting concentration–discharge relationships for each individual river, underestimates global median weathering efficiency by up to a factor of ~10. This study demonstrates the utility of long time-series sampling of global rivers to elucidate controlling processes needed to quantify patterns in global silicate weathering rates.展开更多

The calculated results indicate that at ordinary temperature, the reactions between dolomite, calcite, Ca2+ and Mg2+ in carbonatite and H4SiO4, tl3SiO4- and H2SiO42- in sodium silicate solution to form the cementitious products of hydrated calcium silicate or hydrated magnesium silicate all possibly happen; among these reactions, the reactions to form gyrolite (2CaO.3SiO2.2.5H2O) and serpentine (3MgO.2SiO2-2H20) are the most possible to occur. Further, the dissociation degree of dolomite and calcite and the activity of H3SiO4 , H2SiO42- and H4SiO4 ions are the key factors to influence the reactions.展开更多

AM shows poor inhibition performance, while Na2SiO3 exhibits a better inhibition per- formance. Moreover, the steel gains mass instead of losing mass in the presence of 0.5% Na2SiO3 and 0.5% AM, in- dicating that the corrosion is completely inhibited~ SEM analysis indicates that a compact protective film is formed on the steel surface by the combined use of inhibitors. Our results demonstrate that Na2SiO3 and AM could have a synergistic effect on steel corrosion in high concentrations of KCl. The synergistic inhibition mechanism is further conjectured by the XPS and AES analysis.展开更多

The water glasses had molar SiO2:Na2O ratios of 2.2, 3.3 and 3.9 and were dried up to 84 days at temperatures between 40°C and 95°C and water vapour pressures between 5 and 40 kPa. The materials approached final water concentrations which are equilibrium values and are controlled by the water vapour pressure of the atmosphere and the microstructure of the solids. The microstructure of the dried water glasses was characterized by atomic force microscopy. It has a nanosized substructure built up by the silicate colloids of the educts but deformed by capillary forces. In the final drying equilibrium, the water vapour pressure of the atmosphere in the drying cabinet is equal to the reduced vapour pressure of the capillary system built up by the silicate colloids. Their size scale can be explained by the deformation of colloidal aggregates due to capillary forces.展开更多
