Abstract:

Tricalcium aluminate (C3A) are used for different applications such as thermal insulation, cement, refractory concrete as binders or binders. The aim of this work is to study the synthesis and sintering behaviour of C3A samples. The chemical synthesis was performed by means of polymeric precursor method from metalic nitrates dissolved in ethylene glycol and citric acid forming a polymeric resin. The evolution of the crystalline phases was accomplished by X ray Diffraction (XRD). Thermogravimetric (TG), Differential Thermal Analysis (DTG) and Thermal Expansion were performed in order to verify the thermal properties of the material. From the characterizations carried out it may be concluded that the synthesis of polymeric precursors via allowed obtaining pure phase of C3A at 1000°C low temperatures. The temperature of 1350°C it possible to obtain materials having grain morphology with uniform size and densely packed.
