Activation of LC3 binders by C-S-H nucleation seeding with a new tailored admixture for low-carbon cements.
(Ernst & Sohn GmbH, 2023-12-06)
The use of supplementary cementitious materials is currently the most favorable
strategy for reducing CO2 emissions in cements. Limestone Calcined Clay Cements,
LC3, are a type of cement that allows the reduction of CO2 ...
Effect of boron and water-to-cement ratio on the performances of laboratory prepared Belite-Ye'elimite-Ferrite (BYF) cements
(2021)
The effect of superplasticiser, borax and the water-to-cement ratio on BYF hydration and
mechanical strengths has been studied. Two laboratory-scale BYF cements—st-BYF (with -C2S
and orthorhombic C4A3 S) and borax-activated ...
Early-age reactivity of calcined kaolinitic clays in LC3 cements: a multitechnique investigation including pair distribution function analysis
(Taylor & Francis, 2022-09)
Limestone Calcined Clay Cements, LC3, allows CO2 emissions savings up to 40%. The resulting binders have competitive mechanical performances after a week. However, the reactivity of LC3 at early ages is slow and should be ...
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 ...
Synthesis of active Belite-Alite-Ye'elimite clinker (BAY)
(2016-06-29)
Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) is an environmentally contentious material, as for every ton of OPC produced, on average, 0.97 tons of CO2 are released. Ye'elimite-rich cements are considered as eco-cements because their ...
Local structure and Ca/Si ratio in C-S-H gels from hydration of blends of tricalcium silicate and silica fume
(Elsevier, 2021-03)
At the microscale, C-S-H gels from alite, or neat Portland cements, has a Ca/Si ratio close to 1.80. At the nanoscale, C-S-H is described by a defective tobermorite structure which allows a maximum Ca/Si ratio close to ...
C-S-H seeding activation of Portland and Belite cements: An enlightening in situ synchrotron powder diffraction study
(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 ...
