Abstract:

Using of blast furnace slag(BFS) and fly ash(FA) as raw materials to prepare geopolymers was studied.Using NaOH and water glass as the alkali activator,the geopolymer solidified Pb2+ was prepared under the condition of alkali excitation.The effect of Pb2+ content on the strength of the cured body was studied,and its curing effect and curing mechanism were explored through leaching toxicity test,X-ray diffraction analysis(XRD),infrared spectrum analysis(FT-IR),electronic scanning electron microscope(SEM) and other characterization analysis and radiation resistance experiment test.The results showed that the blast furnace slag?fly ash?based geopolymer had good compatibility with Pb2+,and the maximum compressive strength of the solidified body could reach 43 MPa at 28 d,and the strength of the solidified body could be improved when the addition amount of Pb2+ was 1%.The leaching experiment showed that the curing efficiency of the cured body to 1% Pb2+ was above 99%.Microscopic analysis suggested that most of the heavy metals were physically encapsulated in the geopolymer in the form of hydroxyl complex ions.Radiation protection experiments showed that the content of Pb2+ was positively correlated with the γ-ray shielding effect of blast furnace slag?fly ash?based geopolymers,the optimal content of Pb2+ in the test was 3%,and the linear absorption coefficient and the optimal value of the half-attenuation layer thickness were 0.222 0 cm-1 and 2.309 5 cm,respectively.

Key words: geopolymer, curing, Pb2+, radiation resistance performance
