Thermogravimetric analysis
Abstract
Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is a widely applied technique in the field of cement science. Measurements of bound water and portlandite content by TGA are often used to follow the reaction of portland cement or to evaluate the reactivity of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), such as fly ash and blast furnace slags. TGA is able to identify X-ray amorphous hydrates, such as C-S-H or AH3, and can be used complementarily to other techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD).

TGA indicates the presence of C-(N-)A-S-H, with a broad mass loss at approximately 100 °C, and AFm phases such as strätlingite, hemicarbonate, and/or hydrotalcite, as evidenced by the shoulder at 180 °C.

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.
