Abstract

With the growing emphasis on reducing CO2 emissions, new hydraulic binders are gaining attention. Understanding the hydration products of these new binders is crucial. This study investigates mixed Al/Fe-CO3 AFm hydrates. This research proposes two methods to synthesize CO3-AFm phases with varying proportions of trivalent Al3+ and Fe3+ cations, followed by a thorough characterization of the samples. Results showed that Al-rich samples crystallized only in the triclinic P1 space group, whereas the Fe-containing CO3-AFm phase crystallized in both the triclinic P1 and trigonal R3¯c space groups. A complete solid solution between the two end-members (Ca2Al(OH)6⋅(CO3)0.5⋅2.5H2O and Ca2Fe(OH)6⋅(CO3)0.5⋅2.5H2O) was confirmed with triclinic symmetry, whereas a partial solid solution was observed for the rhombohedral Ca2Al1-xFex(OH)6⋅(CO3)0.5⋅3H2O higher hydrate with ∼0.33 ≤ x ≤ 1. This study enhances the characterization of Al/Fe-mixed CO3-AFm phases that develop during the hydration of binders containing iron and aluminum, offering crucial insights for developing new sustainable construction materials.
