Praparation and characterization of calcium aluminate hydrates
Hubáček, Václav ; Švec, Jiří (referee) ; Koplík, Jan (advisor)
This thesis deals with the preparation of pure calcium aluminate phases, specifically CA, CA2, C3A and C12A7 by two different methods - the solid state synthesis and the amorphous citrate method. The hydration of these phases at different temperatures was also studied The effect of the phase preparation method used and the simultaneous effect of temperature were observed on the prepared hydrates, using suitable analytical methods. The characterization and identification of the prepared phases and their hydrates were studied by X-ray diffraction analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and simultaneous thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis. The prepared hydration products were mostly identified in accordance with the literature data. TGA/DTA of the prepared hydrates helped to clarify some of the hydrate decomposition processes, especially for the hexagonal hydrate CAH10 and the cubic hydrate C3AH6, which were prepared in a sufficiently pure form suitable for analysis.
