Activating effect of potassium silicate solution in low portland cement binder

Preparation and application of alkali-activated cementitious materials in solidification/stabilization of chromite ore processing residue

“…with alkaline activators (Na 2 SiO 3 , NaOH, KOH, or K 2 SiO 3 ) to initiate a hydration reaction, forming a hydrated aluminum silicate gel. 15 Subsequently, it gradually solidifies through further hydration reaction and polycondensation, leading to the formation of the rigid structure.…”
