Durability of Red Mud-Coal Metakaolin Geopolymer in Long-term Sulfuric Acid Corrosion Environment

Red mud and coal metakaolin were used as raw materials, and a mixed solution of sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide was used as an activator to prepare red mud-coal metakaolin geopolymers(RCG) specimens. The acid corrosion resistance of the specimens after 7 days of curing in a sulfuric acid soluti...

description Red mud and coal metakaolin were used as raw materials, and a mixed solution of sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide was used as an activator to prepare red mud-coal metakaolin geopolymers(RCG) specimens. The acid corrosion resistance of the specimens after 7 days of curing in a sulfuric acid solution with pH=2 for 3-112 days was explored. The results of compressive strength, X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of the specimens reveal that the polymerization reaction of RCGis almost finished after being soaked in acid for 14 days. Under the acidic environment, the geopolymer depolymerized and formed cracks in the internal structure, resulting in its gradual decreasein compressive strength with the immersion time. The stress-strain curve of RCG under different immersion time in acid solution exhibited significant difference in the rising section, and the slope and peak stress of the rising section first increased and then decreased with the immersion time. There was a good correlation between the elastic modulus and the compressive strength during the immersion process. Based on the compound power exponential nonlinear model, and by taking into account the factors of long-term immersion, the relationship between the parameters of the model and the immersion age D(D≥14 d) was established, which provides a new method for the study of the stress-strain curve of red mud-coal metakaolin geopolymer under long-term corrosion by sulfuric acid.
