Experimental study on synergistic preparation of geopolymers by ultrafine grinding of mineral powder-regenerated micropowder-sodium silicate used sand
In order to study the feasibility of synergic preparation of geopolymers by ultrafine grinding of mineral powders-re-generated micro-powders-sodium silicate used sand,experiments were carried out on the mechanical properties,durability and heavy metal leaching of geopolymers under different grinding parameters,different amounts of regenerated micro-powders-different grinding fineness and different amounts of red mud.The results show that the best grinding parameters are the filling rate of vibration mill 40%and the ratio of feed to ball 1∶12.The best grinding fineness is 700 m2/kg.On this basis,the optimal ratio of geopolymer substrate is 70%mineral powder,20%reclaimed micropowder,10%sodium silicate used sand micropowder.The optimal ratio of activator(accounting for substrate percentage)is 15%P·O52.5 cement,2.5%red mud,2.5%desulfurized gypsum.The leaching percentage of copper,lead,nickel,zinc and cadmium were all within 0.2%.
