Thermodynamic Interpretation of Carbonation Process of Portland Cement Hydration Products
Cement hydration products carbonation is not only blamed for the carbonation-induced hardened cement paste or concrete cracking, also attributed to the pore water PH-value decrease, which causes the reinforcement corrosion under the existence of water and oxygen due to removal of oxide film passivating rebar surface, in hardened cement paste and concrete. Based on chemical thermodynamics, this paper presents the susceptibility of different cement hydration products to carbonation through calculating their Standard Gibbs Free Energy respectively, Gibbs free energy under temperature variation and the minimum equilibrium pressure of carbon dioxide triggering the carbonation process. The calculated results show that, under standard state (25 °C, 100 kPa), the minimum equilibrium pressure of carbon dioxide triggering carbonation process is significantly variable for different types of cement hydration products. For example, mono-sulfate sulfoferrite hydrates (3CaOFe2O3CaSO412H2O) is the most susceptible to carbonation, followed by mono-sulfate aluminate hydrates (3CaOAl2O3CaSO412H2O), while multi-sulfate sulfoaluminate hydrates (3CaOAl2O33CaSO432H2O) is the least vulnerable to carbonation, followed by silicate hydrates (5CaO6SiO25.5H2O). The findings in this paper are significant in understanding thermodynamic mechanism of cement hydrates carbonation and seeking the solution to prevent cement hydrates from carbonation-induced deterioration.
