Before carbonation, the demoulded pastes were precured in water for 0, 2, 7, and 21 d, respectively. The results show that precuring time in water strongly influences the carbonation process. The phenolphthalein test indicates that the paste precured in water for a shorter time is more quickly carbonated than that for a longer time. The content of calcium hydroxide increases with increasing the precuring time in water, whereas, the amount of absorbed carbon dioxide changes contrarily. Scanning electron microscope （SEM） observation shows that portlandite always fills up big air bubbles in the paste during precuring in water, and the mercury intrusion porosimetry （MIP） results show that there are less large capillary pores in the paste precured in water for a longer time. It is found that the paste without precuring in water has more carbon dioxide absorption during curing in carbon dioxide atmosphere, and its total pore volume decreases remarkably with an increase in the carbonation time than that precured in water. X-ray diffraction （XRD） and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller （BET） surface area analyses indicate that the carbonate products are vaterite and calcite; CxSHy formed from carbonation has low BET surface area in comparison with that of C-S-H formed from curing in water.展开更多

As a result, in the system of CaO-SiO2-H2O, tobermorite formed early, however, withreaction time forward, tobermorite was replaced by xonotlite. So far as CaO-SiO2-Al(OH)3,-H2O was concemed, hydrothermal reactionwas cdried out under the same condition as CaO-SiO2-H2O to study the morphological changes of tobermorite crystals. It was found thatAl3+ accelefated the crystal growth of tobermorite to some extent and was in faVor ofplaty crystals. Moreovef, with the Al3+ content in-creasing in the starting material, the morphology of tobermorite did not change magnificently, but platy crystals became more and moreeminent. As soon as the Al2O3 content was over 15.6%, synthetic mineral greatly changed in smicthe and haled into hibschite differentfrom 1 .1 nm tobermorite. Obviously, xonotlite was not apt to form in the presence of Al3+.展开更多
