Role of surfactants on the synthesis of impure kaolin-based alkali-activated, low-temperature porous ceramics

Porous ceramics were generated by direct foaming the alkali-activated unprocessed kaolin (impure kaolin, iK) with the addition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and calcining at a low temperature of 400 ​°C. Hydrogen peroxide, a blowing agent, decomposes producing oxygen gas bubbles forming the porous str...
