Thermal Conductivity of Metakaolin Geopolymers Used as a …

The thermal conductivities of a systematic series of metakaolin-derived Na, NaK, and K geopolymers have been measured under a range of different environmental conditions, including varied relative humidity (RH) and temperature. The thermal conductivity of geopolymers is closely linked with the specific heat, with little variation in …

Effect of Alkali Cations on Aluminum Incorporation in …

In geopolymeric gels, aluminum is known to have tetrahedral coordination and to be associated with an alkali cation to satisfy electronic neutrality. However, the mechanism of aluminum incorporation and the effects of different synthesis parameters are not well understood. 2H, 27Al, and 23Na MAS NMR techniques have been used to elucidate the …

Who we are

As caretakers for Melbourne's water cycle, we care for water, life and land throughout Melbourne: both its people and its biodiversity. Our three core values are integral to the way we do that work. Make it count: We set clear expectations, prioritize fiercely and take calculated risks to achieve our goals.

Our Path to Net Zero

The water industry is the single largest contributor to the state government's total greenhouse emissions. And while we're already adapting our operations for a changing climate, we know there's more to be done. That's why at Melbourne Water we pledge to halve our emissions by 2025 and reduce them to net zero by 2030.

Thermal evolution of metakaolin geopolymers: Part 1 – …

Investigation of physical evolution at heating rates between 1 °C min −1 and 20 °C min −1 determined that densification was increased as the heating rate increased, likely due to entrapment of water in the gel, which reduces the energy barrier to viscous sintering. Although alkali is known to affect the structure and mechanical …
