[en] The process of Geopolymerization aluminium-siliceous materials has prompted several scientific works to develop materials with interesting thermomechanical properties. Currently, one of the problems encountered by the industries responsible for the production of aluminum is the waste from the Bayer process, known as mud bauxite. In our study, the characterization of bauxite (fresh) and residue from two different lakes company ALUMAR to be applied in obtaining geopolymers. Through the results of analysis by X-ray fluorescence (EDX) was observed after the Bayer process, the presence of oxides of sodium, silicon, aluminum and iron in larger quantities. It was found through a combination of diffraction and vibration obtained by infrared spectrometry the presence of silicates and aluminate groups. Thus, the analyzed material will be activated and tested as geopolymer. (author)
