Structure of Calcium Silicate Hydrates Formed in Alkaline‐Activated Slag: Influence of the Type of Alkaline Activator

Fernández‐Jiménez, Ana, Puertas, Francisca, Sobrados, Isabel, Sanz, Jesús·2003·Journal of the American Ceramic Society

Abstract

The influence of the alkaline activator (NaOH, waterglass, or Na 2 CO 3 ) on the structure of the hydrated calcium silicate formed in alkali‐activated slag (AAS) cement pastes has been investigated by FTIR, 29 Si and 27 Al magic‐angle scattering nuclear magnetic resonance, and TEM/EDX techniques. In all cases, the main product formed after 7 d of activation, with activators giving an Na 2 O concentration of 4%, is a semicrystalline calcium silicate hydrate with a dreierkette‐type anion. In these structures, linear finite chains of silicate tetrahedra ( Q 2 units) are linked to central Ca‐O layers, and tetrahedral aluminum occupies bridging positions in the chains. The main chain length and the amount of aluminum incorporated in the tetrahedral chains depend on the activator used. The detection of Q 3 silicon entities in alkaline‐activated slags is discussed in relation to the possible formation of cross‐linked structures that may be responsible for increased flexural and compressive strengths in AAS mortars.

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.
