The quantity of the aluminosilicate gel formed is dependent on the degree of geopolymerization.

Two out of the three geopolymer phases consist of aluminosilicate gel, but in different SiO2/Al2O3 ratios.

The major geopolymeric phase is a 93.6% fraction and contains aluminosilicate geopolymeric gel with a SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of 2.4.

However, the use of aluminosilicate solid waste materials as geopolymer precursors has attracted attention in recent years due to the economic and environmental benefits of geopolymer technology in aiding waste management.

Thus, better uniformity of element distribution on the surface of the particles is observed to lead to better dissolution of the Al and Si species into the aqueous solution, resulting in the formation of more aluminosilicate gel.

Its major phase has a 94.7% fraction and aluminosilicate gel with a SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of 4.1, while the other phase consists of aluminosilicate gel with a SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of 7.4.

Moreover, the shifting of the sharp peak into the larger macropore region and the appearance of a new sharp peak in the mesopore region are believed to be due to the formation of larger quantities of aluminosilicate gel during the geopolymerization process.

However, TOOLONG et al. have noted that a high quantity of available aluminum increases the rate of gelation and formation of aluminosilicate gel to such a degree that precipitation on the source material slows down the further dissolution, which may lead to geopolymers with lower mechanical performance.

The second phase, a 5.3% fraction, consists of aluminosilicate geopolymeric gel with a SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of 2.8; however, this is mixed with Fe2O3 impurities, the raw fly ash having a relatively high Fe2O3 content (Table 1).

Morphology
Etymology
Aluminosilicate is built from two parts: alumino-, from aluminum which is a light 'metal', and silicate, from silicon which is an element common in 'sand' together with oxygen. So, to call a material aluminosilicate means it contains aluminum and silicon plus oxygen, and that helps explain its strength and heat resistance.
