5. Chemical writing
At the start of our research, the information available to us was very brief. It came mainly from the mineralogy and crystallography of clays, in particular kaolinite . It was impossible to predict and understand the chemical reactivity and mechanism of geopolymerization based on the geometric representation in the form of a tetrahedron, pentahedron or hexahedron, still commonly used in many publications.
5.1 Confusion between chemical valence and oxygen coordination
Due to its amphoteric nature, the Al atom is either trivalent (in acidic or neutral media)...
