The existence of amorphous phase in Portland cements: Physical factors affecting Rietveld quantitative phase analysis

Karen Scrivener, Amélie Bazzoni, Ruben Anton Snellings

Rietveld quantitative phase analysis has become a widespread tool for the characterization of Portland cement, both for research and production control purposes. One of the major remaining points of debate is whether Portland cements contain amorphous cont ...

Impact of Annealing on the Early Hydration of Tricalcium Silicate

Karen Scrivener, Marco Cantoni, Amélie Bazzoni

It was recently proposed that the induction period observed during the hydration of tricalcium silicate could be explained by the build-up of ions in solution. Due to the importance of defects in this mechanism, this work describes the effect of different ...

Effect of Magnesium and Zinc Ions on the Hydration Kinetics of C3S

Karen Scrivener, Marco Cantoni, Amélie Bazzoni, Qiao Wang

Impure tricalcium silicate (C3S) in portland cement may contain various foreign ions. These ions can stabilize different polymorphs of C3S at room temperature and may affect its reactivity. In this paper, the effects of magnesium and zinc on the polymorph ...
