Synchrotron Radiation Pair Distribution Function Analysis of Gels in Cements
(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 ...
Structure of stratlingite and effect of hydration methodology on microstructure
(ICE publishing, 2015)
Stratlingite, Ca4Al2(OH)12[AlSi(OH)8]2•2H2O, is an AFm phase which appears as hydration product of aluminum-rich cements. These binders may be calcium aluminate cements, calcium sulfoaluminate cements and also Belite Calcium ...
Clinkering and hydration of belite-ye'elimite-alite cement
(Elsevier, 2017)
Some belite-ye´elimite-ferrite (BYF) cements present low mechanical strengths mainly due to the slow reactivity of belite. A solution to this problem may be the activation of BYF clinkers by preparing them with a coexistence ...
Tailored setting times with high compressive strengths in bassanite calcium sulfoaluminate eco-cements
(Elsevier, 2016-09)
This work deals with the hydration of a calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) eco-cement prepared with bassanite and different additives (type and content) at a fixed water/CSA ratio of 0.5. Pastes prepared with bassanite show high ...
Hydration of Belite-Ye’elimite-Ferrite(BYF) cements with different calcium sulfate sources
(ICE publishing, 2016-07)
Belite-Ye’elimite-Ferrite cements, BYF, are a sustainable alternative to OPC to reduce CO2 emissions. The aim of this research is to understand the influence of the sulfate source on the hydration of two laboratory-prepared ...
X-ray diffraction, cements and environment, three worlds in one
(2017-12-13)
This keynote lecture will be focused on the strategies for reducing CO2 emissions in the cement production. Concretely, the production of ecocements with optimised formulations that yield reductions in CO2 emissions of up ...
Clinkering of calcium sulfoaluminate clinkers: polymorphism of ye'elimite
(2018)
The manufacture of CSA cements is more environmentally friendly than that of OPC as it releases
less CO2. This reduction depends on CSA composition and is due to three factors: i) less emissions
from decarbonation in the ...
Multiscale understanding of tricalcium silicate hydration reactions
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-06)
Tricalcium silicate, the main constituent of Portland cement, hydrates to produce crystalline calcium
hydroxide and calcium-silicate-hydrates (C-S-H) nanocrystalline gel. This hydration reaction is poorly
understood at ...
Synchrotron Pair Distribution Function analyses of Ye’elimite-based pastes
(2018-10-15)
The study of nanocrystalline phase atomic ordering is intrinsically complicated. The presence of additional crystalline phase(s) exacerbates this challenge. Here, we use the synchrotron pair distribution function (PDF) to ...
Quantitative disentanglement of nanocrystalline phases in cement pastes by synchrotron ptychographic X-ray tomography
(IUCr, 2019)
Mortars and concretes are ubiquitous materials with very complex hierarchical microstructures. To fully understand their main properties and to decrease their CO2 footprint, a sound description of their spatially resolved ...
