Effects of Si/Al Ratios on the Bulk-Type Zeolite Formation Using Synthetic Metakaolin-Based Geopolymer with Designated Composition

In this paper, synthetic metakaolin with fixed composition (Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>·2SiO<sub>2</sub>) was produced by a simple chemosynthetic route. The chemosynthetic metakaolin can eliminate the influence of impurities in metakaolin from natural kaolin miner...
