This work analyzes the effect of the presence of 5 wt.% of solid sodium salts (NaSO, NaCO, and NaSiO) on calcium sulfoaluminate cement (CSA) hydration, addresses hydration kinetics; 2-, 28-, and 90-d mechanical strength, and reaction product microstructure (with X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, (FTIR). The findings show that the anions affect primarily the reactions involved. Ettringite and AH, are the majority hydration products, while monosulfates are absent in all of the samples. All three salts hasten CSA hydration and raise the amount of ettringite formed. NaSO induces cracking in the ≥28-d pastes due to post-hardening gypsum and ettringite formation from the excess SO present. Anhydrite dissolves more rapidly in the presence of NaCO, prompting carbonation. NaSiO raises compressive strength and exhibits strätlingite as one of its reaction products.

Alite calcium sulfoaluminate (ACSA) cement is an innovative and environmentally friendly cement compared to ordinary Portland cement (OPC). The synthesis and hydration of ACSA clinkers doped with gradient sulfur were investigated. The clinker compositions and hydrated pastes were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), isothermal calorimetry, mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to analyze its mineral contents, hydration products, heat release, pore structure, and microstructure.

Beryllium metal is used as neutron moderator and reflector or multiplier in certain types of fission or fusion reactors. Dismantling of these reactors will produce radioactive beryllium waste, classified as low- or intermediate-level waste, that will need to be stabilised and solidified before being sent to disposal. The cementation process is under consideration because it may offer a good compromise between simplicity of implementation, cost, and quality of the final cemented wasteform.

The goal of the presented work was to find the most favorable conditions for the synthesis and stabilization of chemically pure ettringite and monosulfate. The reaction was carried out by mixing pure tricalcium aluminate (CA) and gypsum (CS¯H) in an excess amount of water. The impact of hydration time (2-7 days), CA:CS¯ molar ratio (1:1-1:3) and water vapor pressure of the selected drying agents (anhydrite-III and supersaturated CaCl solution) on the phase composition of the products was evaluated.

Municipal solid waste incineration fly ash (MSWI FA) is a globally recognized hazardous waste. This study developed a low-carbon and high-compatibility calcium sulfoaluminate-enhanced ternary binders (PCG) composed of calcium sulfoaluminate cement, ordinary Portland cement and granulated blast-furnace slag for the stabilization/solidification (S/S) of MSWI FA. The complex interaction mechanisms between PCG binders and typical potentially toxic elements (PTEs, e.

Article Synopsis
- This study examines the impact of carbonation and autoclave-carbonation curing on aerated concrete made from CBSAC cement, aiming to meet strength standards while reducing CO emissions from cement production.
- The results indicate different compressive strengths for various curing methods, with autoclave-carbonation curing showing improved CO diffusion that enhances concrete properties significantly.
- The method also leads to higher carbonation degrees and density, ultimately allowing CBSAC aerated concrete to sequester substantial amounts of CO, thereby addressing carbon emission challenges in the industry.
