Speciation in Size and Density Fractionated Fly Ash III. The influence of HCL Leaching on the Glassy Constituents of a High-Ca Fly Ash
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 February 2011
Abstract
Ash density fractions, separated from a high-Ca fly ash, were leached with 6M HCl at 105°C. The density fractions (<0.79 and >2.85 g.cm−3) selected for leaching have been shown in previous work to consist largely of two different glass types, designated Glass I and Glass II. It was shown that both Glass I and Glass II are leachable to yield solutions containing Al and modifier cations. Acid attack on Glass I appears to involve hydrolysis of Si–O–Al (silalane) bridges along with ion exchange at available non-bridging oxygen sites. Attack on Glass II is more extensive, with both silalane and siloxane bridges being hydrolysed, and ion-exchange occurring at non-bridging oxygens. The products of leaching are aluminosilicates. In the case of Glass I, these remain as pseudomorphic, hollow spheres; whereas, for Glass II, substantial reprecipitation of silica (alumina) gel was found.
