Preparation of β-dicalcium silicate (β-C2S) and calcium sulfoaluminate (C4A3S¯) phases using non-traditional nano-materials

This paper describes the synthesis of some nano-compounds such as SiO2, Al(OH)3 and Ca(NO3)2 which can be used in the preparation of nano β-C2S as well as nano C4A3S¯. The preparation of β-C2S from nano-SiO2 and Ca (NO3)2 in comparison with traditional materials such as Ca(CH3COO)2, CaCO3 and silica...

description This paper describes the synthesis of some nano-compounds such as SiO2, Al(OH)3 and Ca(NO3)2 which can be used in the preparation of nano β-C2S as well as nano C4A3S¯. The preparation of β-C2S from nano-SiO2 and Ca (NO3)2 in comparison with traditional materials such as Ca(CH3COO)2, CaCO3 and silica quartz fired at different temperature has been studied. Also, C4A3S¯, can be prepared from nano-materials such as Ca(NO3)2 and Al(OH)3 with pure gypsum in comparison with Ca(CH3COO)2, CaCO3 and calcined Al2O3. The rate of formation of β-C2S and C4A3S¯, can be also studied after firing with chemical and XRD methods. These phases were obtained by crystallization processing at different temperatures. The formation of these phases was monitored by measuring the free lime and insoluble residue contents. The results showed that the extent of formation was found to be much higher with nano-materials as compared to those prepared in a conventional manner. The prepared belite phase from nano-silica and calcium nitrate reduces the temperature synthesis to 1150 °C. Also the preparation of C4A3S¯ from nano Al(OH)3 and Ca(NO3)2 and pure gypsum fired at 1290 °C, was the perfect composition to produced a well formed calcium sulfoaluminate phase in comparison with traditional materials.
