Abstract

The influence of temperature and duration on the formation of cuspidine during hydrothermal synthesis was investigated in the CaO–SiO2·nH2O and CaO–silica gel waste–CaF2–H2O systems. The reaction was carried out in the temperature range of 95–200 °C for 4–48 h. In the system with amorphous silica, cuspidine was determined to form at 130 °C within 12 h. At higher temperatures (150–200 °C) its formation started earlier (within 4 h). Portlandite reacted completely in the temperature range of ~ 170–200 °C; meanwhile, a part of fluorite remained unreacted up to 200 °C. The surface area of the obtained synthetic cuspidine sample (200 °C, 12 h) was 56.9 m2 g–1. In the CaO–silica gel waste–CaF2–H2O system, cuspidine formed within 4 h and it was the main compound in the synthesis products with an admixture of katoite, which formed due to the presence of aluminium ions in the waste material. The SEM images showed that synthetic cuspidine samples from both systems exhibited a scaffold-like structure. The mineralogical composition of the synthesised products remained stable up to 48 h. The synthetic products were investigated by XRD, STA, FT-IR, BET and SEM analysis methods.
