Design and characterization of low-heat and low-alkalinity cements

TL;DR: In this paper, a low-alkalinity and low-heat cements which would be compatible with an underground waste repository environment were formulated and analyzed using X-ray diffraction, TGA-DTA, calorimetry, pore solution extraction and microscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI

The U phase formation in cement-based systems containing high amounts of Na2SO4

TL;DR: In this article, simulated low-level wastes containing high amounts of Na 2 SO 4 (10 ≈ 15%) were examined with respect to the mineralogy of the solid phases, chemical composition of the interstitial aqueous phase and immersion behaviour in water.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expansion mechanism associated with the secondary formation of the U phase in cement-based systems containing high amounts of Na2SO4

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of the U phase formation on the expansion of the C3A+C3S+Na2SO4 system was studied and it was shown that U phase is formed by an external water supply and this reaction process results in a large expansion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis of the U phase (4CaO . 0.9Al2O3 . 1.1SO3 . 0.5Na2O . 16H2O)

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the reaction between Na2SO4(0.41~0.82 mole metallic aluminum fine powder in 1 liter 1N NaOH solution may be considered as the most efficient way for synthesizing the U phase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physico-chemical transformations of sulphated compounds during the leaching of highly sulphated cemented wastes

TL;DR: In this article, during the leaching of simulated highly sulphated OPC/BFS cements, cured at room temperature and containing U-phase, sodium sulphate, and ettringite, physico-chemical transformations have been pointed out (transformation of U -phase into ettricite).
