MAS NMR Studies of Partially Carbonated Portland Cement and Tricalcium Silicate Pastes
Abstract
29 Si, 27 Al, and 1 H MAS NMR studies of partially carbonated mature ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and tricalcium silicate (C 3 S) pastes have been carried out. The water‐to‐solid ratios ( W/S ) have been varied between 0 and 1 at hydration temperatures of 23 o and 90 o C. Various Q n i units with n =0, 1,2,3, and 4, and a Q 3 (1Al) group have been identified using 29 Si NMR. Cross‐polarization experiments, in addition, have made it possible to assign the OH groups. Two types of fourfold‐ and one type sixfold‐coordinated aluminum have been distinguished using 27 Al NMR. In C 3 S pastes for w/s >0.7, progressive carbonation leads to a nearly perfect three‐dimensional network consisting of Q 3 and Q 4 only. In contrast, in OPC pasted only about 40% of the highly polymerized silicate units are formed, partially copolymerized with AlO 4 tetrahedra.

The peak at -101 ppm was Q3(OH) (hydroxylated surface sites (SiO)3-Si-OH), and the peak at around -110 ppm was Q4 (fully condensed network of silicate tetrahedrons).
“The peak assigned at -101 ppm was Q 3 (OH) (hydroxylated surface sites (SiO) 3 -Si-OH), whilst the peak at around -110 ppm was Q 4 (fully condensed network of silicate tetrahedrons) [7,37].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
