3CaO.3Al2O3.CaSO4(C4A3)clinker was prepared by solid state reaction and then its hydration property was investigated. C4A3 clinker was fired at various temperatures in the range of 700~135$0^{\circ}C$. The hydration of it was studied by XRD, DSC, Solid-state 27Al MAS NMR and SEM. According to the results, the Ca4A3 clinker was produced by reacting calcium aluminates with CaSO4 and Al2O3 and C4A3 was formed as a main phase after calcining at 120$0^{\circ}C$. The hydration products were mainly calcium monosulfoaluminate hydrate and Al(OH)3, and they were produced after 2hrs of hydration. However the hydration rate was about 74% at 3days.

A converter slag has been heat-treated above melting point at reduced condition by cokes. As the result, most iron was separated. To make hydraulic compounds, calcium oxide was added to the reduced converter slag and the mixtures were sintered. This modified converter slag clinker mainly contained tricalcium silicate and calcium aluminates, and have a great potential to be a good hydraulic cement. The hydrates of the hydraulic compounds and gypsum with and without granulated slags, were mainly C-S-H, ettringite, calcium monosulfoaluminate hydrate, calcium aluminate hydrate, and $Ca(OH)_2$

Nine alkali-activated (AA) mortars were mixed and cured at water or air-dried conditions to explore the significance and limitation for the application of the combination of Ba and Ca ions as an alkali-activator. Ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) was used for source materials, and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂) and barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)₂) were employed as alkali activators. Test results clearly showed that the water curing condition was more effective than the air-dried curing condition for the formation of the denser calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) gels that had a higher molar Si/Ca ratio, resulting in a higher strength development. At the same time, the introduction of Ba(OH)₂ led to the formation of 2CaO·Al₂O₃·SiO₂·8H₂O (C₂ASH₈) hydrates with higher molar Si/Al and Ca/Al ratios. Based on the test results, it can be concluded that the developed cementless mortars have highly effective performance and high potential as an eco-friendly sustainable building material.

In order to utilize dolomite as a calcium/magnesium compound material, it was prepared highly reactive calcined dolomite(CaO·MgO) using a microwave kiln (950 ℃, 60 min). The experiment was performed according to the standard of the hydration test (ASTM C 110) and hydration reactivity was analyzed as medium reactivity (max 74.1 ℃, 5 min). Experiments were performed with calcined dolomite and salt (MgCl₂·6H₂O) (a) 1:1, (b) 1:1.5, and (c) 1:2 wt% based on the hydration reaction of calcined dolomite. The result of X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed that MgO of calcined dolomite increased to Mg(OH)₂ as the salt addition ratio increased. After the separating reaction, calcium was stirred at 80 ℃, 24 hr that produced CaCl₂ of white crystal. XRD results, it was confirmed calcium chloride hydrate (CaCl₂·(H₂O)x) and CaO of calcined dolomite and salt additional reaction was separated into CaCl₂. And it was synthesized with Ca(OH)₂ 99 wt% by NaOH adding reaction to the CaCl₂ solution, and the synthesized Ca(OH)₂ was manufactured CaO through the heat treatment process. In order to prepare calcium carbonate, CaCO₃ was synthesized by adding Na₂CO₃ to CaCl₂ solution, and the shape was analyzed in cubic form with a purity of 99 wt%.

It is a fundamental study for the hardened bodies of $CaO-SiO_2-H_2O$ system to clear up various physical properties and structures of the products, using the Seosan quartz and $Ca(OH)_2$(C. P. grade) as raw materials. Various samples were obtained by varying $CaO/SiO_2$ mole ratio (0.3∼2.1) and hydrothermal conditions ($100∼220^{\circ}C$ and 2∼14hr.) within the given limit. It was found that tobermorite phase as hydrate is contained in the hardened bodies and that the development of crystal has a great influence on the strengths and other physical properties of hardened bodies.

Hydraulic properties of CA2-based clinker synthesized by Hydration-Burning Method was studied by calorimetry, analysis of suspension, thermogravimetry, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffractometry. Hydraulic properties of the clinker was so activated that heat of hydration of the clinker evolved faster than that of CA synthesized by conventional method. In suspension of W/C=33, dissolution of the clinker began at nearly same time as that of CA, but precipitation of AH3 and rise of [OH-] occurred fairly faster in the suspension of the clinker than that of CA. From the beginning of hydration, AH3 was produced and became a main phase of the hydrate with minor phase of CAH10 and C2AH8, but C3AH6 was not produced at ambient temperature.

Calcium aluminosulfate (3CaO.3Al$_2$O$_3$.CaSO$_4$or $C_4$A$_3$S) was prepared by chemical synthesis from the nitrate salts and aluminum sulfate. $C_4$A$_3$S was the main phase after calcination at 110$0^{\circ}C$. The specific surface areas after calcination at 110$0^{\circ}C$ and 130$0^{\circ}C$ were about 2.5 and 1.0 $m^2$/g, respectively. Hydration was investigated by XRD, DSC, SEM, EDS, conduction calorimetry and analysis of the liquid phase. Calorimetry showed that the induction period was longer than that of a sample prepared by conventional solid state sintering and this was attributed to the formation of amorphous coatings in abundance of $Al_2$O$_3$ and SO$_3$. Crystalline hydration products, principally calcium monosulfoaluminate hydrate and Al(OH)$_3$, appeared subsequently.

Since there are $OH^-,\;[SiO_4]^{4-}$ ion of high concentration at early hydration in the system added with activator (NaOH+$Na_2OSiO_2$) in the blast furnace slag, different from cement hydration, hydration progresses fast without induction period and forms reaction rim around the blast furnace slag grain. $0.6{\mu}m$ reaction rim was formed around the blast furnace slag grain from the 1 day of reaction period, and the thickness of reaction rim increases over the reaction time, growing to $1{\mu}m$ on the 28 days. Unreacted blast furnace slag grain deformed from angular shape to the spherical shape. Mole ratio of Ca/Si tends to decrease from inside of blast furnace slag grain to reaction rim. Difference of Ca/Si mole ratio between reaction rim and inside the blast furnace slag grain decreased and generated hydrate was a poor crystalline CSH(I) with Ca/Si mole ratio less than 1.5.

Long-term degradation of coment barrier by diffusion was studied with reactive transport modeling. The result of modeling showed that cement barrier was altered about 30cm thickness after 50,000 years. The pH decreased from 13.0 to 11.9 because of depletion of alkali ions, and dissolution/precipitation of portlandite and CSH (Calcium Silicate Hydrate). In addition, porosity increased about 0.3 because of dissolution of portlandite and $CSH2.0(Ca_2SiO_3(OH)_2:0.17H_2O)$. The solubility of uranium also increased with the increase of pe value The results of this study indicate that long-term degradation of comet can enhance the transport of nuclide by changing pH, pe, porosity in barrier.

In this study, hydration properties of ordinary Portland cement were examined, shown from a limestone and blast furnace slag alone or their mixture up to 10% as a minor mineral additives. As of setting time, it was identified that final setting became faster as the amount of limestone mixture increased, which showed limestone accelerated early hydration faster than blast furnace slag. This is because limestone did accelerate the hydration of alite. At the age of 3 days, limestone 5%-blast furnace slag 5% mixture had the highest compressive strength of mortar. It is because hydration acceleration of alite by limestone, and $Ca(OH)_2$ that was additionally formed by hydration acceleration of alite reacted with blast furnace slag, and as a result, additionally created C-S-H hydrate. Regarding the hydration properties by the age of 7 and 28 days, limestone 3%-blast furnace slag 7% of composited mixture showed the largest compressive strength, and in comparison with the 3 days in curing age. This period is when hydration reaction of blast furnace slag is active and the amount of hydrate depends on the amount of blast furnace slag mixture more than that of the limestone mixture. And in order to vitalize hydration reaction of blast furnace slag the amount of $Ca(OH)_2$ created has to increase, and thus, a small amount of limestone is necessary that can accelerate the hydration of alite. Therefore, after the age of 7 days, the fact that there were a large amount of blast furnace slag mixture and small amount of limestone mixture was effective to the strength development of ordinary Portland cement.
