Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)

Geopolymers are synthesized by mixing powdery solids, rich in amorphous silicon and aluminum species, with an alkaline solution, which leads to the formation of an inorganic alumosilicate network. Their acid resistance is affected by the composition, the porosity, and pore size distribution of the hardened binder as well as the type and concentration of the acidic solution. In the present study, two geopolymer mixtures with varying liquid-to-solid ratios and Si/Al ratios were exposed to a sulfuric acid solution (pH = 1) and analyzed after different durations of exposure (7, 14, 28, 56, and 70 days) by using a light microscope and scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX). SEM-EDX elemental mapping was used to evaluate the degradation from depth profiles of silicon (Si), aluminum (Al), and potassium (K) leaching. The results clearly show the leaching kinetics of potassium and the dealumination of the network. The separate consideration of specific reaction steps in the course of degradation, namely the depth of erosion (DE), the depth of deterioration (DD), and the depth of reaction for certain elements (DR(e)), indicate a combination of chemical and diffusion controlled degradation mechanisms.
