  Application of tomography for solid calcium distributions in calcium leaching cement-based materials# Wan Keshu, Li Yan, Sun Wei* 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 (School of Materials Science and Engineering, Southeast University, NanJing 211189) Abstract: Calcium leaching of cement-based materials is one of concerns in concrete structures used for radioactive waste disposal and underground/underwater environments, and solid calcium distribution is an important parameter for calcium leached specimens. In this research, based on the additivity of X-ray linear attenuation coefficient, a method to deduce the solid calcium distributions was proposed, and the solid calcium distributions of different calcium leached specimens were given using the micro-tomography data. The solid calcium distributions using the proposed method were further verified using EDS elemental analysis.

In recent years, the kinetics of calcium leaching and their effect on the mechanical properties of cement paste have been modeled [1-4]. Leaching is a combined diffusion–dissolution process where diffusion is the controlling stage. The concentration gradients between the pore solution and the environment cause diffusion of calcium ions from the pore solution to the surrounding free water, and the reduction in concentration of calcium ions in the pore solution forces the dissolution of solid calcium, mainly calcium hydroxide (CH), which will increase material porosity, and consequently increase diffusion coefficient, and reduce mechanical properties. Most of the experimental research on calcium leaching focused on leaching front, averaged solid calcium concentration, and averaged porosity [5-8]. Very
