摘要/Abstract

摘要： The relationship between the silicon saturation coefficient of hydrogarnets and Bayer reaction parameters was studied. The peak position, crystal plane spacing, and cell edge length of typical hydrogarnet patterns were calculated to find the key factors influencing the relationship. The results showed that the crystal face (420) is the optimal garnet growth direction during hydration and crystal growth along the faces (521) and (611) were not affected significantly by the varying experimental conditions. The reaction temperature significantly influenced the silicon saturation coefficient of hydrogarnets. The silicon saturation coefficient of hydrogarnets increased from 0.2 to about 1.0 in the temperature range of 30-270℃ and a rapid expansion process was observed in the temperature range of 120-150℃. Moreover, the reaction time, alumina concentration, and C/S were shown to be less important factors. Averaging the results obtained by the 3 methods was shown suitable for calculating the SiO₂ saturation coefficient of hydrogarnets. The calculated results of the Al₂O₃ and SiO₂ contents matched the actual ones. However, the actual SiO₂ content was about 10% less than the calculated one for SiO₂ saturation coefficients higher than 1.
