Abstract
Technical OPC normally contains mixed sulphate carriers in varying amounts. Gypsum (calcium sulphate dihydrate, CaSO 4 ·2 H 2O) is added to the clinker before the milling process and dehydrates partially to bassanite (calcium sulphate hemihydrate, CaSO 4 ·0.5 H 2O) and anhydrite (CaSO 4). The dehydration temperature and humidity affects the resulting calcium sulphates. Anhydrite exists in different polymorphs (anhydrite I-III) of which anhydrite III shows the highest reactivity in contact with H 2O. Due to different kinetics of the calcium sulphate phases, which strongly influence hydration, it is very important to be able to characterize the sulphate carrier composition in the cement and in applications with high sulphate content. This study could prove that it is possible to quantify bassanite and anhydrite III in samples of dehydrated gypsum by Rietveld refinement of XRD data especially in mixtures consisting of more than one calcium sulphate modification. © by Oldenbourg Wissenschaftsverlag, München.
