Abstract

Objects of this research are white cement mortars, characterized by both of high content of addition of marble powder and reduced water-cement ratio. The hardened cement mortars, formed after 28-and 120-day curing under standard conditions, are studied. The newly formed phases, containing [SO4]2-, [CO3]2-, [OH]-, etc., are identified using X-ray powder diffraction, infrared spectroscopy and thermal analysis (coupled with analysis of the outgoing gas mixture by mass spectrometry). Based on of the formed calcium silicate hydrates, calcium aluminate hydrates, the influence of sulphate ions is analysed and the mechanism of the thermal decomposition reaction at high temperatures in an oxidizing gas environment is studied. This allows us to establish that the hydration of Portland cement depends on the addition of marble powder (technically calcium carbonate CaCO3), as well as mono- and hemicarboaluminates are formed instead of monosulphoaluminates.
