Abstract

The thermal behaviors of a porous calcium silicate (PCS) material prepared from coal-bearing strata kaolinite were investigated by thermogravimetry and derivative thermogravimetry (TG–DTG), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy, and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller method. The XRD results showed that the PCS was determined as calcium silicate hydrates (C–S–H) and a small amount of CaCO3, which transformed to an orderly crystal structure of wollastonite approximately at 700 °C. The TG–DTG results indicated that the dehydration was observed until 300 °C and the dehydroxylation presented at 728 °C. The PCS exhibited a large number of pores with a fibrous flake network structure, which disappeared at 800 °C. The BET data showed that the specific surface area of material decreased as the temperature increased. The high-temperature phase transformation of PCS underwent the following transformation: active calcium silicate → dehydrated calcium silicate → dehydroxylated calcium silicate → wollastonite.
