RT Journal Article T1 Hydration of C3S and Al-doped C3S in the presence of gypsum A1 Neto, José da Silva Andrade A1 Rodríguez, Erick D. A1 Monteiro, Paulo J. M. A1 Gómez-de-la-Torre, María de los Ángeles A1 Kirchheim, Ana Paula K1 Cemento K1 Sulfatos K1 Yeso AB A complete understanding of the effect of gypsum on the C3S hydration and the role of aluminum has not been achieved. The effects of gypsum (at 2.5 wt% and 5.0 wt%) on the hydration of tricalcium silicate (C3S) andaluminum-doped C3S (Al-C3S) hydration are assessed. Isothermal calorimetry, thermodynamic modeling, XRD,TGA, and 27Al and 29Si MAS-NMR were performed to analyze gypsum's influence on the hydration of C3S and Al-C3S. The inclusion of gypsum retarded the initial hydration (first 3 h) for both C3S and Al-C3S due to theinteraction between the sulfate ions and C3S. In contrast, gypsum enhanced the hydration of both C3S and Al-C3Safterward. The removal of Al3+ ions of the pore solution by the formation of ettringite is not the mechanismbehind the enhancement of C3S hydration by gypsum, which mainly results from changes in C-S-H morphologyand increases in the ionic strength.
