The influence of potassium and aluminum ions on crystallization of calcium silicate hydrates

   

Project no.: 09.3.3.-LMT-K-712-16-0175

Project description:

The project aims to investigate the influence of K + ions and complex (K + + Al3 +) additive on the crystallization of dibasic calcium silicate hydrates in CaO-SiO2-H2O system with a molar CaO / SiO2 ratio of 1.9. The synthesis will be carried out under hydrothermal conditions at a temperature of 200 ° C in a saturated water vapor environment for 4, 8, 16, 24, 48 and 72 h. The obtained products will be investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis, simultaneous thermal analysis and Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy methods, and rational applications of synthetic products will be proposed.

Project funding:

Project is funded by EU Structural Funds according to the 2014–2020 Operational Programme for the European Union Funds’ Investments priority “Development of scientific competence of researchers, other researchers, students through practical scientific activities” under Measure No. 09.3.3-LMT-K-712.
