Hydration mechanisms of sewage sludge ashes used as cement replacement

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of sewage sludge ash (SSA) on the hydration of Portland cement (OPC) was investigated, and it was shown that the additional alumina released by SSA results in the formation of higher amount of AFt and AFm phases, leading to changes in the total volume of the solid and thus the properties of the systems.

Effect of Eggshell Powder on the Hydration of Cement Paste.

TL;DR: The addition of eggshell powder provided nucleation sites in the hydration products and accelerated cement hydration, which helps to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions from cement factories by reducing clinker production.

Fly ash -limestone ternary composite cements: synergetic effect at 28 days

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of increasing the replacement levels of the ordinary Portland cement (OPC) (up to 35% replacement), and combining siliceous fly ash (FA) and limestone powder (L) to replace OPC are investigated.

Feasibility of incorporating phosphogypsum in ettringite-based binder from ladle slag

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential use of phosphogypsum (PG) as a calcium sulfate source for the production of an ettringite-based binder (LSG) was investigated.

Calcium Nitrite Corrosion Inhibitor in Portland Cement: Influence of Nitrite on Chloride Binding and Mineralogy

TL;DR: In this article, the binding of nitrite and chloride in cement paste occurs mainly as a consequence of reaction with the AFm phase, and the reaction has been modeled with the aid of new thermodynamic data on the stability of Nitrite-AFm and by focused experiments performed on key compositions.

The Role of Calcium Carbonate in Cement Hydration

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown by experiment and calculation that much, if not all, of this calcite is reactive and affects the distribution of lime, alumina and sulfate and thereby alters the mineralogy of hydrated cement pastes.

Thermodynamic modelling of the hydration of Portland cement

TL;DR: In this paper, a thermodynamic model is developed and applied to calculate the composition of the pore solution and the hydrate assemblage during the hydration of an OPC.
