Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)

To demonstrate the importance of the Si/Al ratio in terms of geopolymer mix designs for acid resistance, a metakaolin-based geopolymer was modified by replacing the aforementioned precursor with different percentages of silica fume. Durability tests were performed by exposing geopolymers with varying amounts of silica fume (up to 9%) to sulfuric acid solution (pH 1) over a period of 84 days. Geopolymer samples were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) before and after 7, 14, 28, 56 and 84 days of exposure. To show the time-dependent change of the elemental composition in the corroded layer after sulfuric acid attack, SEM-EDX elemental mappings were conducted and divided into 100 µm segments to generate element-specific depth profiles. The results show that above a critical silica fume content, the erosion of the sample surface by complete dissolution can be prevented and higher amounts of silica fume lead to a significant densification of large (protective) areas of the corroded layer, which delays the progress of corrosion.
