During the hydration of cement, tricalcium aluminate (C3A) reacts with gypsum and forms ettringite (AFt). Once all gypsum is consumed, ettringite can further react with remaining C3A and form monosulfate (AFm) at 1–2 days. Normally, at early ages, ettringite all transfers to AFm phase. After several months or years, ettringite can form again if a new source of sulfate becomes available in ...
Solubility data are reported and thermodynamic data are derived. The 25 °C stability of AFm phases is much affected by the nature of the anion: carbonate stabilises AFm and displaces OH and SO4 at species activities commonly encountered in cement systems. However in the presence of portlandite, and as carbonate displaces sulfate in AFm, the ...
The determination of reliable weathering/dissolution rates for cement phases is of fundamental importance for the modelling of the temporal evolution of both radioactive waste repositories and CO 2 geological storage sites (e.g. waste matrix, plug in boreholes).

Here we report for the first time wet chemistry and spectroscopic data on the interaction of the most relevant selenium anion species under the expected strongly reducing conditions, i.e. HSe −, with two AFm phases commonly found in cement, monocarbonate (AFm-MC) and hemicarbonate (AFm-HC).

[26], this layer is an OH-AFm type phase, which also forms when C 3A is hydrated in the absence of calcium sulfate, in which the delay in the reaction is not observed. As noted earlier, this hydrate
Feb 01, 2007· The AFm phase of Portland cements refers to a family of hydrated calcium aluminates based on the hydrocalumite-like structure of 4CaO·Al 2 O 3 ·13–19 H 2 O. However OH − may be replaced by SO 4 2− and CO 3 2−.Except for limited replacement (50 mol%, maximum) of sulfate by hydroxide, these compositions do not form solid solutions and, from the mineralogical standpoint, …
In the cement system, the presence of ettringite depends on the ratio of calcium sulfate to tri-calcium aluminate (C 3 A); when this ratio is low, ettringite forms during early hydration and then converts to the calcium aluminate monosulfate (AFm phase or (Al 2 O 3-Fe 2 O 3-mono)). When the ratio is intermediate, only a portion of the ...

Sep 20, 2018· The production of Portland cement (PC) is the major source of CO 2 emissions associated with concrete materials. Due to the very large volumes of cementitious materials used (around 50% or all manufactured materials), it is estimated to be responsible for 6–8% of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions [1, 2].This originates mainly from decomposition of …
