Crystallization of calcium silicate at elevated temperatures in highly alkaline system of Na_2O–CaO–SiO_2–H_2O

摘要

In Na_2O–CaO–SiO_2–H_2O system,systematic investigations of phase and morphology of calcium silicate in hydrothermal conditions were concisely conducted for high-value utilization of silicon resource in high-alumina fly ash(HAFA).The results show that crystal composition and phase may be affected by relatively low concentration of NaOH,and sodium ions are rearranged into the structure to form NaCaHSiO_4 and Na_2Ca_3H_8Si_2O_(12) with different C/S ratio at high concentration of Na OH.In addition,phases in wollastonite group possess the morphology of nano fiber.Formation of nano fiber is attributed to the difference of surface energies between axial and radial direction,and higher temperatures lead to easier growth along radial direction.The preparation of C–S–H with different phases and morphologies can guide for the application of silicate solution with high alkalinity with different purposes.
