Aqueous Solubility Diagrams for Cementitious Waste Stabilization Systems: II, End-Member Stoichiometries of Ideal Calcium Silicate Hydrate Solid Solu…
2001
Solubility in the fully hydrated CaO–SiO2–H2O system can be best described using two ideal C-S-H-(I) and C-S-H-(II) binary solid solution phases. The most recent structural ideas about the C-S-H gel permit one to write stoichiometries of polymerized C-S-H-(II) end-members as hydrated precursors of the stable tobermorite and jennite minerals in the form of 5Ca(OH)2·6SiO2·5H2O and 10Ca(OH)2·6SiO2·6H2O, respectively. For thermodynamic modeling purposes, it is more convenient to express the number of basic silica and portlandite units in these stoichiometries using the coefficients nSi and nCa. Thermodynamic solid-solution aqueous-solution equilibrium modeling by applying the Gibbs energy minim…
The structure and stoichiometry of C-S-H
2004
Abstract This review relates to the models describing the structural evolution of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) at the crystal–chemical level as a function of composition in terms of calcium to silicon ratio. The different models are compared and discussed in the light of recent spectroscopic and microscopic data. Taking into account the structure and the morphological properties of C-S-H, a surface reaction thermodynamic model has been proposed and discussed to predict and correlate the chemical and structural evolution of C-S-H with solution chemistry.
