Thermal and hygric properties of alkali-activated low-reactivity ceramics after high temperature exposure

Original language description

Alkaline activation is, among other, also a possible way for recycling and reuse of numerous alumino-silicate wastes, including ceramics. While the conventional precursors for alkaline activation (metakaolin, fly ash etc.) are dominantly amorphous, the ceramic waste is more crystalline. This is true especially for red-clay ceramics with high content of quartz and feldspars. However, also such low-reactivity precursors may be activated to product of compressive strength about 40 MPa and flexural strength about 8 MPa and thus with application potential as construction material. Accidentally or intentionally, the alkali-activated material may be exposed to a high-temperature load. Such load influences both phase composition and pore size distribution, and consequently also the mechanical properties of the material. Further, the changes in pore system character are reflected also in thermal and hygric transport parameters such are thermal conductivity and rate of liquid water and water vapor transport. The present paper specifically studies alkali-activated red-clay ceramics powder prepared with Si/Al ratio 1.8 and Al/K 1.1. This material was selected based on preceding experiments as one which has reasonable mechanical properties and moderate content of activator (potassium silicate solution). The thermal and water transport parameters were measured for unloaded as well as thermally loaded (200 °C, 600 °C, and 1000 °C) samples, alongside with porosimetry.
