Heavy metal-bearing waste usually needs solidification/stabilization (s/s) prior to landfill to
lower the leaching rate. Cement is the most adaptable binder currently available for the …

Carbonation of cementitious materials can greatly shorten the length of lifetime for steel-
reinforced concrete structures constructed in atmospheric environment, due to steel …

This paper investigates the effect of KOH and NaOH on CSH structure and solubility. Both
KOH and NaOH have a similar effect, they increase pH values and silicon concentrations …

Calcium silicate hydrate (CSH), as the main hydration product in hardened Portland cement,
significantly affects its mechanical properties and durability. A profound insight into …

The mid‐, near‐, and far‐infrared (IR) spectra of synthetic, single‐phase calcium silicate
hydrates (C‐S‐H) with Ca/Si ratios (C/S) of 0.41–1.85, 1.4 nm tobermorite, 1.1 nm …

The purpose of this article is to discuss the applicability of the tobermorite–jennite (T/J) and
tobermorite–'solid-solution'calcium hydroxide (T/CH) viewpoints for the nanostructure of …

The present study addresses the effect of different concentrations of Na2O on the structure of
a composition of fresh C–S–H gels. The gels were synthesized from laboratory reagents …

The effect of equilibration time on the composition, structure and solubility of calcium
aluminate silicate hydrate (CASH) was investigated in 0.5 M NaOH solutions at Al/Si= 0.1 …

Reactive-MgO cement (RMC) is an emerging material with the potential to become a long-
term sustainable alternative to ordinary Portland cement (OPC) due to its capability to …

The hydration process of Ca3SiO5 (C3S) cement is investigated, and accelerating effects of
adding colloidal silica (CS) are established. CS accelerates dissolution of the C3S phase …
