Verification of Synthetic Preparation of Thaumasite

Article Preview

Abstract:

AFt phases – mainly ettringite and thaumasite, as products of sulfate attack in concrete, can cause serious damage to cement binder. The second mentioned, thaumasite CaSiO3∙CaCO3∙CaSO4∙15H2O, is connected to lower temperatures. It is less common and less known. For further research of this mineral, it is fundamental to prepare thaumasite in clear form in laboratory conditions. The aim of this work was to try several possibilities of thaumasite preparation - firstly by burning of mixes consisting of stoichiometric proportions of particular components in thaumasite and secondly by method in sugar solution and in MgSO4 solution.
