Kinetic constraints often limit our understanding of the long-term chemistry and phase assemblage of hydrated cements, particularly alkali-activated materials, blended cements and cementitious materials of geothermal wells and radioactive waste repositories. For example, the mineralogy of geopolymer (an alkali-activated aluminosilicate binder) is often seen to feature a cluster of nanocrystalline zeolites, wherein the zeolite type and degree of crystallinity are mainly dependent on the cement formulation and curing conditions. 1-3 Available studies, in general, indicate that the conversion of amorphous phases to more ordered crystalline analog in alkali-activated materials is accelerated at moderately high temperatures and high humidity. 2-4 A variety of zeolites have been reported in alkali-activated materials, 5,6 including hydroxysodalite, 7,8 chabazite, 7,8 analcime 4,9 and gismondine (ie, zeolite P). 9-11
