Mechanisms and kinetics of C-S-H nucleation approaching the spinodal line: Insights into the role of organics additives
Christophe Labbez, Lina Bouzouaid, Alexander E. S. Van Driessche +4
Wet chemistry C-S-H precipitation experiments were performed under controlled conditions of solution supersaturation in the presence and absence of gluconate and three hexitol mole…
Impact of gluconate and hexitol additives on the precipitation mechanism and kinetics of C-S-H
Lina Bouzouaid, Alexander E. S. Van Driessche, Wai Li Ling +5
The present paper investigates the influence of gluconate and hexitol additives on the precipitation mechanism and kinetics of C-S-H. To this end, wet chemistry C-S-H precipitation…
Gluconate and hexitols effects on C-S-H solubility
Lina Bouzouaid, Barbara Lothenbach, Alejandro Fernandez-Martinez +1
This study investigates the effect of gluconate, a carboxylate ion, and three uncharged hexitols, D-sorbitol, D-mannitol and D-galactitol on the solubility of C-S-H. Thermodynamic…
Portlandite solubility and Ca2+ activity in presence of gluconate and hexitols
Lina Bouzouaid, Barbara Lothenbach, Alejandro Fernandez-Martinez +1
The current paper investigates the impact of gluconate, D-sorbitol, D-mannitol and D-galactitol on calcium speciation at high pH values by i) solubility measurements of portlandite…
>>On demand<< triggered crystallization of CaCO3 from solute precursor species
Tomasz M. Stawski, Teresa Roncal-Herrero, Alejandro Fernandez-Martinez +3
Can we control the crystallization of solid CaCO3 from supersaturated aqueous solutions and thus mimic a natural process predicted to occur in living organisms that produce biomine…
Textural properties of synthetic nano-calcite produced by hydrothermal carbonation of calcium hydroxide
German Montes-Hernandez, Alejandro Fernandez-Martinez, L. Charlet +2
The hydrothermal carbonation of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) at high pressure of CO2 (initial PCO2 1/4 55 bar) and moderate to high temperature (30 and 90 1C) was used to synthesize…
