This work aims to investigate the influence of Cr 3+ , Co 2+ and Cu 2+ on the formation of calcium silicates hydrates in CaO-SiO 2-Al 2 O 3-H 2 O system under hydrothermal conditions. The dry primary mixture with the molar ratio CaO/(SiO 2 + Al 2 O 3) = 1.5 and Al 2 O 3 /(Al 2 O 3 + SiO 2) = 0.05 was mixed with heavy metal nitrate solutions (metal ions concentration-10 g/l) to reach the water/solid ratio of the suspension equal to 10.0. The hydrothermal synthesis was carried out in unstirred suspensions, under saturated steam pressure at 200°C temperature for 0-72 hours. It was determined that nature of metal ions have influence on both mineral composition and thermal stability of synthesis products. It was obtained that by increasing synthesis temperature up to 200°C, all Cr 3+ and Co 2+ ions were intercalated into the structure of synthesis products. Meanwhile Cu 2+ ions participate in chemical reactions and as a result copper oxide were formed. The products of synthesis were characterized by STA, DSC, XRD and AAS analyses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
