| Summary: | The experimental work will begin with the characterization of the aluminosilicate source used which is kaolin. The characterization includes the use of X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) to assess the chemical composition, X-ray Diffraction (XRD) to identify the present phase, particle size analysis (PSA) to obtain the size of kaolin particles used and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) to study the morphology of the microstructure of kaolin. The geopolymers will be synthesized based on three important parameters which are sodium hydroxide concentration, sodium silicate to sodium hydroxide ratio and sintering temperatures to acquire the optimum mechanical properties. |
