Belite clinkers with increasing aluminium content: effect of calcium aluminates on calcium silicate hydration
Redondo-Soto, Cinthya; Gastaldi, Daniela; Irico, Sara; Canonico, Fulvio; García-Aranda, Miguel Ángel
(Elsevier, 2022)
Belite cements (BCs) could have advantages over Portland cements concerning durability, low heat development and the use of less demanding raw materials. The activation of BCs by sulfur addition at the clinkering stage and ... -
C-S-H seeding activation of Portland and Belite cements: An enlightening in situ synchrotron powder diffraction study
Morales-Cantero, Alejandro; Cuesta-García, Ana María; Gómez-de-la-Torre, María de los Ángeles; Santacruz-Cruz, María Isabel; Mazanec, Oliver; Borralleras, Pere; Weldert, Kai S.; Gastaldi, Daniela; Canonico, Fulvio; García-Aranda, Miguel Ángel[et al.] (Elsevier, 2022-11)
C-S-H seeding in Portland cements is well known from basic scientific works and field applications. Moreover, this activation approach could be beneficial for low-CO2 cements under development where a general drawback is ... -
In situ synchrotron powder diffraction study of LC3 cement activation at very early ages by C-S-H nucleation seeding.
Morales-Cantero, Alejandro; Gómez-de-la-Torre, María de los Ángeles; Cuesta-García, Ana María; Santacruz-Cruz, María Isabel; Bernal, Isabel M.R.; Mazanec, Oliver; Dalla-Libera, Alessandro; Borralleras, Pere; García-Aranda, Miguel Ángel[et al.] (Elsevier, 2024-02-22)
Limestone Calcined Clay Cements, LC3, are being widely researched as low-carbon binders. However, the hydration reactions during the first day are key for their performances and they were not well known. Here, we employ ... -
In-situ synchrotron powder diffraction study: activation of Portland and Belite cements
Morales-Cantero, Alejandro; Cuesta-García, Ana María; Gómez-de-la-Torre, María de los Ángeles; Santacruz-Cruz, María Isabel; García-Aranda, Miguel Ángel (2022-05-31)
Portland cement (PC), whose main phase is alite (Ca3SiO5, C3S), is one of the most manufactured products in the world. However, cement industry is one of the major contributors for greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions. In the ... -
Influence of curing temperature on belite cement hydration: a comparative study with Portland cement
Shirani, Shiva; Cuesta-García, Ana María; Morales-Cantero, Alejandro; Gómez-de-la-Torre, María de los Ángeles; Olbinado, Margie P.; García-Aranda, Miguel Ángel[et al.] (Elsevier, 2021-05-24)
Belite cements (BCs) could be a more sustainable binder than Portland cements (PCs) but adequate knowledge of the hydration features has still to be built. In particular, the mild curing hydration temperature effects have ... -
Ptychographic X-ray computed tomography analysis of cement pastes
García-Aranda, Miguel Ángel; Cuesta-García, Ana María; Gómez-de-la-Torre, María de los Ángeles; Trtik, Pavel; Díaz, Ana (2019-10-04)
Ptychographic X-ray computed tomography provides 3D electron mass density and attenuationcoefficient distributions of unaltered cement pastes with an isotropic resolution below 100 nm. Thisimaging technique allows ... -
Synchrotron Radiation Pair Distribution Function Analysis of Gels in Cements
Cuesta-García, Ana María; Zea-Garcia, Jesus D.; Londono-Zuluaga, Diana; Gómez-de-la-Torre, María de los Ángeles; Santacruz-Cruz, María Isabel; Vallcorba, Oriol; García-Aranda, Miguel Ángel[et al.] (MDPI, 2017)
The analysis of atomic ordering in a nanocrystalline phase with small particle sizes, below 5 nm, is intrinsically complicated because of the lack of long-range order. Furthermore, the presence of additional crystalline ...
