2.4 HYDRATION OF CEMENT cement
2.4.1 The Hydration Reaction hydration
2.4.2 Volume products of hydration
Cement Hydration
Gel pores 0.005 nm Capillary pores 10 nm
Hydration of PFA
PFA reacts with the lime produced
by the hydration of cement to give more
hydration products - reducing the voids
and lowering the permeability.
Heat of Hydration
The need for Gypsum
If pure C3A is mixed with water the reaction
leads to uncontrolled setting. To prevent this
Gypsum (Calcium Sulphate CaSO4.2H2O) is
added to the cement clinker. This reacts with
the C3A to form insoluble calcium
sulphoaluminate, but eventually tricalcium
aluminate hydrate is formed.
