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…
Influence of Polymers on the Nucleation of Calcium Silicate Hydrates
Andreas Picker, Luc Nicoleau, André Nonat +2
Calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H), the main components of hydrated cement, are known for being responsible of its cohesion. In this respect, they act as "glue" for the other solid…
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…
