AB One alternative to decrease CO2 emissions from ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) production consistson the development of a new kind of eco-cements composed by less calcite demanding phases. That isthe case of Belite-Ye’elimite-Ferrite (BYF) cements, which have β-belite as a main phase and ye’elimiteas a secondary phase. But the low reactivity of β-belite is well known, consequently these materialsdevelop low mechanical strengths at early/intermediate hydration ages. A possible solution proposed tosolve this problem consists on the production of cements which contain belite, alite and ye'elimitetogether, known as Belite-Alite-Ye’elimite (BAY) cements. Consequently, the reaction of alite andye'elimite with water would develop cements with higher mechanical strengths at early ages, while β-belite will contribute to later ages.The main objective of this work is to better understand the hydration behavior of monoclinic alite inpresence of ye’elimite (both stoichiometric and pseudo-cubic polymorphs), in order to be compared witha BAY eco-cement systems. The hydration of systems with selected alite/ye’elimite ratios were studiedfor the first 24 hours. The main techniques used for this study were in-situ synchrotron X-ray powderdiffraction combined with Rietveld methodology and isothermal calorimetry.
