Precursors for the preparation of one-part geopolymers were synthesized by calcining low-quality kaolin, which containing a lot of quartz, with NaOH or Na 2 CO 3, then the cement pastes of ground precursor powders were synthesized by only adding water and cured at 80 °C for 3 days followed by curing at ambient environment for 25 …

Calcination follows these steps as a sort of finishing process, serving multiple purposes in bringing the finished catalyst to market. The primary reason for calcining the catalyst is to cure or "set" the actual catalyst material, typically a metal, onto the catalyst carrier or substrate, typically a ceramic-based material such as alumina ...
