Abstract
Slurries of quartz and slaked lime containing various crystal phases of alumina were hydrothermally reacted to synthesize aluminum-substituted tobermorite. X-ray diffraction results confirmed the formation of aluminum-substituted tobermorite during the reaction. The aluminum species were substituted at the Q2 or Q3 sites in tobermorite. The amount of aluminum substituted in the tobermorite depended on the reactivity of alumina. The tobermorite formed showed fiber- and plate-like morphologies. The reactivity of the alumina used as an additive influenced the substitution site and the amount of aluminum substituted into the tobermorite structure, resulting in controlling its morphology.
