Abstract:

The activator plays an important role in the process of preparing geopolymers.The three types of stimulators of acid,alkali and salt and their stimulating effects were summarized firstly.By introducing the stimulating effects of common al-kali stimulators such as sodium hydroxide,potassium hydroxide and water glass,the difference in the effects of various alkali stimulators was analyzed in detail.The research progress on typical acid stimulants such as acetic acid,hydrochloric acid,sul-furic acid and phosphoric acid was described,as well as the activation ability of sulfate,silicate and aluminate as salt stimu-lants.On this basis,the advantages and disadvantages of three kinds of activators were summarized and analyzed.At the same time,by discussing the excitation principles of the three types of activators of acid,base and salt,it was further confirmed that the three types of activators had the ability to stimulate the activity of geopolymer raw materials,and could accelerate the hydration reaction process of geopolymerization system to different degrees,and significantly improved the strength of the geopolymer system.Finally,the future development of stimulants in the field of geopolymers was prospected.

Key words: geopolymer, stimulants, excitation principle, stimulating effect, hydration reaction
