Journal ArticleDOI
Carbonate and silicate phase reactions during ceramic firing
Giuseppe Cultrone,Carlos Rodriguez-Navarro,Eduardo Sebastian,Olga Cazalla,Maria Jose De la Torre +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed analysis of clay-rich materials following firing is presented, showing that initial mineralogical differences between two raw materials (one with carbonates and the other without) influence the texture and mineralogical evolution of the ceramics as T increases from 700 to 1100°C.
Journal ArticleDOI
How does sodium sulfate crystallize? Implications for the decay and testing of building materials
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that both thenardite and mirabilite (Na2SO4·10H2O) precipitate directly from a saturated sodium sulfate solution at room temperature (20°C).
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of mineralogy and firing temperature on the porosity of bricks
Giuseppe Cultrone,Eduardo Sebastian,Kerstin Elert,Maria Jose De la Torre,Olga Cazalla,Carlos Navarro +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the changes in brick porosity upon firing and its relation to the mineralogical composition are examined, showing that the presence or absence of carbonates strongly influences the porosity development and, therefore, the brick texture and physical-mechanical properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of particulate matter from vehicle exhaust on porous building stones (limestone) sulfation
TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between motor vehicle emissions and the decay of ornamental calcareous stone, by means of sulfation processes (the well-known phenomenon of Black-crust formation), was demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Forced and natural carbonation of lime-based mortars with and without additives: Mineralogical and textural changes
TL;DR: In this paper, the carbonation process in different types of mortars, with and without pozzolana or air-entraining additives, subject to a CO2-rich atmosphere and compared the results with those of similar naturally carbonated mortars.
