Hydration of Synthetized Clinker Phases C₃S and C₃A with Metakaolin in Isothermal Conditions

Abstract:

Heat flow development during initial hydration of fresh pastes based on mixtures of pure clinker phases C₃S and C₃A with metakaolin was investigated by means of isothermal calorimetry. Phase composition development was examined by "in situ" X-ray diffraction technique. Obtained results from calorimetric measurements and X-ray diffraction were correlated with recent studies in field of hydration of cementitious systems. The effect of co-sintering of clinker phases on early hydration was characterized by isothermal calorimetry.
