RT Journal Article T1 Hydration of C4AF in the presence of other phases: A synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction study A1 Cuesta-García, Ana María A1 Santacruz-Cruz, María Isabel A1 Sanfeliz-Garcia, Susana A1 Fauth, François A1 García-Aranda, Miguel Ángel A1 Gómez-de-la-Torre, María de los Ángeles AB Hydration behaviour of C4AF in selected experimental conditions has been determined. C4AF has beenhydrated in the absence and presence of gypsum, two polymorphs of ye’elimite and different water/solidratios. C4AF in the presence of water hydrates to form mainly a hydrogarnet-type phase. The crystal structureof C3A0.845F0.155H6 is reported from the Rietveld analysis of its synchrotron X-ray powder diffractionpattern. The hydration of C4AF in the presence of gypsum gives AFt. However, the mixture tetracalciumaluminoferrite/gypsum/ye’elimite gives both AFt and AFm phases. C4AF hydrated with ye’elimite in theabsence of gypsum gives only AFm. Ye’elimite has inhibited tetracalcium aluminoferrite hydration PB Elsevier SN 0950-0618 YR 2015 FD 2015 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10630/13906 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10630/13906 LA eng NO Construction and Building Materials 101 (2015) 818–827 NO Universidad de Málaga.
