CO 2-hardening is the most common hardening method in preparing sodium silicate-bounded sand core [12]. In China, only about 30% of SS-WFS can be reused through dry and wet regeneration [12, 14] to reduce the treatment cost of foundry and sodium silicate waste sand [15, 16]. However, with the accumulation of pollutants on the surface of …
Abstract. This paper is concerned with the mechanism of the reaction between sodium carbonate and silica sand at 874° to 1022deg;C. A reaction path which evolves in four stages, i.e ...
Conventionally, the reaction of silica sand with soda ash at elevated temperatures of 1000–1400 °C forms water glass, which is crushed and digested with steam under pressure to obtain sodium silicate of the desired density (Friedman, 1948). ... The highest percentage of sodium silicate extraction was 43.6% resulting from water …
This binder consists of three components: liquid mixture of silicates (1.8–2.5%), highly mineralized activators (0.1–1.0%), and, if necessary, mineral material …
Sodium silicate powders with different SiO 2 /Na 2 O (silica modulus) were characterized by solubility rate, pH, and chemical structure (by 29 Si MAS-NMR) and compared in the preparation of one-part (or dry-mix) alkali-activated blast furnace slag mortar. The low SiO 2 /Na 2 O indicated the beneficial presence of less-polymerized …

The sodium-silicate-bonded sand was heated for 40 s at 175 °C, and the addition content of sodium silicate was 2.0% for raw silica sand. Sodium-silicate-bonded sand was stored in a humidistat (temperature of 25 °C and humidity of 70%). ...

Materials were consolidated by an acidified sodium silicate solution with silicon concentration equal to 2.26 mol/l and pH value equal to 10.86 leading generally to irreversible gel formation [16].The mixture of acidified solution and silica is first realized and then sand was added according to the desired composition before gelation (Fig. 1). ...
Sodium silicate, represented by the molecular formula Na 2 SiO 3, is an ionic compound and has a range of physical forms. It can be produced in a solid state or in a liquid solution. The different physical states depend on the ratios of silica and sodium oxide and on the water content. When in a solid state, sodium silicate appears as white ...

The conversion of sand to sodium silicate is also dependent on reaction time. At 60 minutes, the reaction was found to be almost complete. The precipitation of silica depends on factors such as duration of precipitation, the addition rate of acid, the temperature of precipitation, concentration and pH [11]. The reaction of sand with sodium ...
