Abstract

The Mössbauer spectroscopic and x-ray diffraction investigations have been carried out on a variety of ordinary portland, portland pozzolanic, portland slag and sulphate resisting portland cements, using dry as well as hydrated samples. The discussion of the Mössbauer parameters shows that Fe atoms occupying distorted octahedral and tetrahedral sites in the dry cements are hydrated to form ferrite monosulphate without producing Fe(OH) 3 and its gel; hydration of the slag cement proceeds much faster than other cements; and that the composition of the iron-bearing phase in the sulphate resisting portland cement, studied in detail, is close to C 4AF.
