Hydration of ferrite-rich Portland cement: Evaluation of Fe-hydrates and Fe uptake in calcium-silicate-hydrates
Highlights Ferrite-Rich Portland cement produces denser microstructure at an early age compared with ordinary Portland cement. Fe-siliceous hydrogarnet is the main Fe-containing phase in the hydrated cement. Fe(III) ions exist as Fe(OH)4 − in the high-pH pore solution. C-S-H adsorbs Fe(OH)4 − via surface complexation reaction and around 2 wt% of Fe incorporated C-S-H [C-(F)-S-H] is produced in the hydrated cement.
Abstract The hydration process in ferrite-rich cement (FC) and its pore structure have been investigated by experimental and thermodynamic modelling techniques. X-ray diffraction (XRD)/Rietveld analysis, thermogravimetry (TG), and mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) were performed to study the hydration process, pore volume-pore size distributions, and Fe uptake in calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H). Similar phases were found in both FC and ordinary Portland cement (OPC). The hydration degree of FC was higher at the early stage compared with that of OPC; however, the hydration of OPC exceeded that of FC after 14 days because the high amount of C2S in OPC promoted the late hydration. The XRD-TG results revealed relatively similar Fe uptake by C-S-H in both FC and OPC. The thermodynamic model confirmed the formation of a high amount of Fe phases in FC. Moreover, the model predictions agreed well with the experimental results, demonstrating the accuracy of the proposed model for FC.
