In order to realize carbon neutrality in the international society, research on supplementary cementitious materials(SCMs) has been actively conducted as a way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the cement industry. However, the use of SCMs causes problems of initial hydration delay and strength reduction due to the reduction of tricalcium silicate(C3S) in the cement clinker. Therefore, in this study, the initial hydration and basic characteristics of cement mortar were confirmed by adding a C-S-H based hardening acceleration to blended cement mixed with Portland cement, blast furnace slag, fly ash, and limestone power. As a result of the heat of hydration and compressive strength test, it was confirmed that when hardening acceleration was added, the initial reactivity was high, so the heat of hydration was promoted, and the initial strength was increased. It is considered to be due to C-S-H seeding effect. Therefore, it is judged that the use of C-S-H based hardening acceleration can supplement the problem of initial hydration delay of blended cement in Korea.

Carbonation is a natural ageing process for cement. This study focuses on how the carbonation rate varies with selected hydration times and atmospheric conditions during the early stages of reacting dried cement paste. Diffuse reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy is shown to be a suitable technique to monitor the formation of carbonates in cement. Combined with a previously developed freeze drying technique, carbonation can be studied at specific hydration stages. In ambient air both calcium hydroxide and calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) in cement are carbonated. Increased hydration time enhances the carbon dioxide uptake, which indicates that the calcium in the hydration products reacts more easily than the calcium in the clinker phase. In a humid $CO_2$ atmosphere, the carbonation process is so pronounced that it decomposes C-S-H into calcium carbonate and silica. In a moist $N_2$ atmosphere no carbonation occurs, but the sulfate chemistry of the cement seems to be affected due to the formation of ettringite.

Modified belite cement clinker containing $\alpha$'-C2S and C4A3 were syntehsized form the mixture of raw materials. $\alpha$'-C2S was stabilized at room temperature by adding borax. Properties of the clinker were charaterized with a XRD, SEM, TEM The additive effects of slag on the hydration properties were also estimated by measurement of compressive strength fluidity and heat evolution. The experimental results exhibited that the addition of slag to the belite cement improves the fluidity and early compressive strength due to the formation of ettringite and C-S-H. The compressive strengths of the mortar with 20% slag after 7, 90 days hydration were 212, 355 kgf/cm2 respectively.

This paper reports the physical properties and hydration products of slag cement that was prepared by activating ground granulated blast furnace slag with commercial lime and plaster of Paris (POP) as activators. The consistency, setting times and soundness of various mixes of slag-lime-POP is reported. The hydration products and formation of bonds in the paste during setting were studied with the help of SEM, FTIR and XRD tests and the same are correlated to the hydration process. The setting times of the mixes are found to be lower than that of the value prescribed for ordinary Portland cement (OPC). Borax is used as a setting retarder and a borax content of 0.4 % by mass gives setting times that are normally prescribed for OPC. In the early stages of setting C-A-S-H gels are found in this cementing material instead of C-S-H gel, as generally observed in the OPC.

$C_4A_3S$ 합성은 천연원료인 석회석과 산업폐기물 및 부산물인 수산화알루미늄, 이수석고를 일정혼합비로 균일하게 혼합하여 20, 400, 600, $1200^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 소성 후 급냉하여 $C_4A_3S$ 클링커를 합성하였다. 합성한 클링커를 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트에 10 wt%치환하여 수중 양생하에서 수화반응 및 물성특성을 조사하였다. $1200^{\circ}C$에서 $C_4A_3S$ 클링커가 합성됨을 X-Ray diffraction pattern으로 관찰할 수 있었다 $1200^{\circ}C$에서 소성된 시료는 급결성을 띠었으며, 압축강도는 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트보다 20~30% 정도 높게 나타났다. 주요 수화생성물은 ettringite, 수산화 칼슘이며, ettringite의 팽창으로 인하여 모르타르의 건조수축이 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트보다는 낮게 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 소량 혼합재로서 석회석과 고로슬래그를 단독 또는 복합으로 10%까지 혼합하면서 나타나는 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트의 수화특성에 대해 고찰하였다. 응결시간은 석회석과 고로슬래그를 복합하여 10% 혼합한 경우, 석회석의 혼합량이 증가할수록 Alite의 수화반응을 촉진시켜 종결이 빨라졌다. 재령 3일에서 모르타르의 압축강도는 석회석 5%-고로슬래그 5% 혼합이 가장 컸다. 이러한 이유로는 석회석에 의한 Alite의 수화촉진에 의해 생성된 C-S-H 수화물과 Alite의 수화촉진에 의해 부가적으로 생성된 $Ca(OH)_2$가 일부 고로슬래그와 반응하여 추가적으로 C-S-H 수화물을 생성하였기 때문이다. 재령 7, 28일에서는 석회석 3%-고로슬래그 7%의 복합 혼합이 가장 큰 압축강도를 나타냈다. 이 시기에는 고로슬래그의 수화반응이 활발한 시기로 C-S-H 수화물 생성량은 석회석의 혼합량보다 고로슬래그의 혼합량에 의존한다. 그리고 고로슬래그의 수화반응을 활성화하기 위해서는 $Ca(OH)_2$ 생성량이 증가해야 하므로, Alite의 수화를 활성화 시키는 소량의 석회석이 필요하다. 따라서 재령 7일 이후에는 고로슬래그의 혼합량이 많고 석회석의 혼합량이 적은 것이 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트의 강도발현에 효과적이었다.

Theoretical models based on modern interpretations of the morphology and interactions of cement hydration products are developed for prediction of the mechanical properties of hydrated cement paste (hcp). The models are based on the emerging nanostructural vision of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) morphology, and account for the intermolecular interactions between nano-scale calcium C-S-H particles. The models also incorporate the effects of capillary porosity and microcracking within hydrated cement paste. The intrinsic modulus of elasticity and tensile strength of hydrated cement paste are determined based on intermolecular interactions between C-S-H nano-particles. Modeling of fracture toughness indicates that frictional pull-out of the micro-scale calcium hydroxide (CH) platelets makes major contributions to the fracture energy of hcp. A tensile strength model was developed for hcp based on the linear elastic fracture mechanics theories. The predicted theoretical models are in reasonable agreements with empirical models developed based on the experimental performance of hcp.

Theoretical models for prediction of the mechanical properties of cement mortar are developed based on the morphology and interactions of cement hydration products, capillary pores and microcracks. The models account for intermolecular interactions involving the nano-scale calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) constituents of hydration products, and consider the effects of capillary pores as well as the microcracks within the hydrated cement paste and at the interfacial transition zone (ITZ). Cement mortar was modeled as a three-phase material composed of hydrated cement paste, fine aggregates and ITZ. The Hashin's bound model was used to predict the elastic modulus of mortar as a three-phase composite. Theoretical evaluation of fracture toughness indicated that the frictional pullout of fine aggregates makes major contribution to the fracture energy of cement mortar. Linear fracture mechanics principles were used to model the tensile strength of mortar. The predictions of theoretical models compared reasonably with empirical values.

In this study, cement/PVDF hollow-fiber hybrid membranes were prepared via a mixed process of diffusion-induced phase separation and hydration. The presence of X-ray diffraction peaks of Ca(OH)₂, an AFt phase, an AFm phase, and C-S-H phase confirmed the hydration reaction. Good hydrophilicity was obtained. The cross-sectional and surface morphologies of the hybrid membranes showed that an asymmetric pore structure was formed. Hydration products comprising parallel plates of Ca(OH)₂, fibrous ettringite AFt, and granulated particles AFm were obtained gradually. For the hybrid membranes cured for different time, the pore-size distribution was similar but the porosity decreased because of blocking of the hydration products. In addition, the water flux decreased with hydration time, and carbon retention was 90% after 5 h of rejection treatment. Almost all the Zn²⁺ ions were adsorbed by the hybrid membrane. The above results proved that the obtained membrane could be alternative as basement membrane for separation application.
