A new two-step process was developed for the synthesis of tobermorite fiber from high alumina fly ash. The results reveal that high alumina extraction efficiency from the fly ash can be achieved in the first step and tobermorite fiber with excellent properties can be produced from the dealuminat...detailed
In this study, conversion of municipal solid waste incineration bottom ash (IBA) into highly efficient sorbents for Cu(II) removal was reported. The formation of tobermorite induced by humic acid (HA) and IBA under hydrothermal condition was explored and its potential application for efficient r...detailed
Compared with the traditional partition board, the superior properties of calcium silicate board are attributed to the generation of tobermorite, which can be influenced by many preparation conditions. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of Ca/Si ratio, and some others factors...detailed
In this study, tobermorite was successfully synthesized from two kinds of industrial wastes by single step hydrothermal method. The structural and morphological changes during synthesis show that well-crystallized tobermorite can be obtained within 6 h at 180 °C in this system. The carbon impur...detailed
The influence of different hydrothermal conditions and starting materials on a preparation of tobermorite was examined. Tobermorite is a mineral, which, thanks to its composition and properties, is an important phase in aerated concrete and it can be also used as an ion exchanger. Tobermorite cr...detailed
Tobermorite minerals are important in many industrial processes typically occurring in hydrous environment. Their functionality is therefore governed in various aspects by their morphology and surface stability/reactivity. Here, we present the results of the surface energies and morphology of no...detailed
Tobermorite has attracted extensive attention as the main hydrothermal product of autoclaved aerated concrete. The optimum hydrothermal synthesis conditions, micro-nanostructure and properties of the solid wastes-based tobermorite were analyzed using XRD, SEM, XRF, TG-DSC, FT-IR, MAS-NMR and nan...detailed
Pastes of calcium silicate binders with low CaO/SiO2 (C/S) ratio with an overall C/S molar ratio of 1.1 were produced by mixing these materials with water or with an aqueous solution of Na2SiO3. Both types of pastes (non-activated and Na2SiO3 activated) were analysed using X-ray diffraction (XRD...detailed
