Alkaline Activated Material for pH Control in Biotechnologies

Abstract:

By using industrial aluminium recycling waste, recycled silicate glass from outworn fluorescence lamp recycling plant, calcined kaolinite clay supplemented with alkali activator with different silicate modulus the new type of porous material for biotechnologic processes without the need for additional equipment for pH control was researched. This controlled-release system contains an alkali activated matrix in which NaOH crystals are encased. In this study ability to release NaOH per time in water according to material composition and structure were investigated. Three alkaline activated materials AAM 7.5, 10 and 12.5, with different alkali activator content were characterized.
