Inorganic Corrosion-Inhibitive Pigments for High-temperature Alkali- activated Well Casing Foam Cement

Cesium and Strontium Retentions Governed by Aluminosilicate Gel in Alkali-Activated Cements

The present study investigates the retention mechanisms of cesium and strontium for alkali-activated cements. Retention mechanisms such as adsorption and precipitation were examined in light of chemical interactions. Batch adsorption experiments and multi-technical characterizations by using X-ray diffraction, zeta potential measurements, and the N₂ gas adsorption/desorption methods were conduc...

Closed porosity aluminosilicate for electronic packaging applications

The electrical properties of sol-gel prepared aluminosilicate films were investigated for suitability in electronic applications. The aluminosilicate films exhibited apparent closed porosity and a dielectric constant as low as = 5 with processing temperatures from 373 K to 873 K. The porosity was inaccessible to nitrogen at 77 K, helium at 293 K, and water vapor at 293 K. Both bulk and thin-fil...

A Procedure for Preparation of Semi-activated Carbon Fiber without any Treatment under High Temperature

A procedure for preparation of semi-activated carbon fiber (SACF) without any treatment under high temperature was proposed. The first step of the procedure is coating of an inorganic fiber (E-glass fiber) by an adsorbent mixture including powder activated carbon, methyl cellulose and water. In this work a set of experiments was performed to attain appropriate adsorbent mixture for good quality...

An NMR Spectroscopic Investigation of Aluminosilicate Gel in Alkali-Activated Fly Ash in a CO2-Rich Environment

The present study investigated aluminosilicate gel in alkali-activated fly ash exposed to a CO₂-rich environment by means of NMR spectroscopy. The alkali-activated fly ash was exposed to an atmospheric CO₂ concentration of 10% after curing at 80 °C initially for 24 h. Under high concentrations of CO₂, highly reactive components Na and Al, which completely reacted within the first few hours, wer...
