The major constituents of anhydrous cement are tricalcium silicate (C 3 S) and dicalcium silicate (C 2 S) tricalcium aluminate (C 3 A) and tetracalcium aluminoferrate (C 4 AF). C 3 S and C 2 S are known to be reactive to CO 2 in aqueous conditions but C 3 A and C 4 AF show minimal to no reactivity (Fernández-Carrasco et al. 2008 Hargis et

The influence of lime and/or gypsum on the C 4 AF hydration was examined and the results were compared with those obtained for the C 3 A hydration. Gypsum is more effective than CH in retarding the hydration of C 4 AF. Ettringite produced in the C 4 AF hydration in the presence of C S ·H 2 seems to be more stable than that produced in the C 3 A C S ·H 2 H 2 system.

Effect of calcium lignosulfonate on tricalcium aluminate
In the tricalcium aluminate—calcium lignosulfonate—water system evidence has been obtained for the formation of a complex and precipitation of a highly basic calcium lignosulfonate. The hexagonal calcium aluminate hydrate as well as the cubic aluminate hydrate irreversibly adsorb calcium lignosulfonate. Adsorption results in changes of surface area morphology thermal behaviour and rate
