The reaction of a sample with mainly coarse particles of CA (d(50) = 50 mu m) is characterized by a low hydration rate and only 34 rel.-% of CA dissolved after 22 h. Whereas in a very fine CA-sample (d(50) = 4 mu m) hydration starts delayed but then shows the highest hydration rate and a dissolution of 62 rel.-% CA. The behaviour is explained by the coverage of CA-particles with a dense hydrate layer of C(2)AH(x) and AH(x). This reacted CA-rim is supposed to have the same thickness for different sized CA-particles. Optimization of Gauss distribution curves, which were applied to simulate a more realistic particle size distribution, leads to a reacted rim thickness of 1.3 mu m until reaction is stopped.
