Properties and reaction mechanism of phosphoric acid activated metakaolin geopolymer at varied curing temperatures
Abstract Reaction mechanism of phosphoric activated metakaolin is studied by techniques of calorimetry, ICP-OES, FTIR and NMR taking curing temperature and [H3PO4] as variables. A two-stage curing method including pre-curing at 40 °C for 24 h and second curing at 60/80 °C for another 24 h effectively mitigates thermal-cracking of the obtained silico-aluminate phosphate (SAP) samples, whose maximum compressive strength reaches 120 MPa. Dealumination of metakaolin in H3PO4 solution produces low aluminate-containing silicate units and subsequently condensation of silicate tetrahedrons occurs. Higher temperature and H3PO4 concentration accelerate the two processes. After complete reaction, AVI structure from metakaolin disappears and the dissolved Al preferably forms AlVI-O-P units. During reaction, metastable P-O-P intermediate appears in SAPs with higher P/Al ratio and finally transforms into Al-O-P structure upon PO4 3− consumption. Phosphate units as P(OAl)x(H2O)4-x are connected with Si or Al structure units. Major structural units of the SAPs include Al-O-P, Si-O-P, Si-O-Si, and Si-O-Al.
