NMR research on cement clinker and its structures in early age hydration WANG Xiaojun, ZHU Wenwen, WANG Hui College of Materials Science and Engineering, Nanjing University of Technology, Nanjing 210009, China Abstract：Clinker has long been regarded as a critical factor for cement hydration and solidification. In this work, a fine peak analysis we present indicates that α-C2S and β-C2S in 2CaO·SiO2(C2S) phase and C3S Monoclinic 1(C3S M1) and C3S Monoclinic 3 (C3S M3) in 3CaO·SiO2 (C3S) phase were clearly recorded in the 29Si MAS NMR spectra. The content of C3S phase in the clinker deduced from the fine peak analysis coincides with the phase quantification analysis calculated by the Taylor-Bogue method based on XRF. And also accords to the statistical data in industrial production. NMR provides a proof that C3S M1 and β-C2S phases have a prior reaction in the early age hydration of clinker, and demonstrates that aluminum coordination changes from tetracoordinated 4CaO·Al2O3·Fe2O3(C4AF) to hexacoordinated [Ca2Al(OH)6](SO4)0.3·3H2O(Aft) in one day hydration and changes to the 3CaO·Al2O3·CaSO4·nH2O (Afm) in a seven-day hydration.

Introduction The properties and structures of a clinker are crucial to the cement hydration, gel formation, physic-chemistry and engineering properties [1]. Cement plant works out high alkali value formula to induce high content of Alite in clinker, and the content of Alite is usually used as a production index of a cement plant. At present, the content and characterization of Alite are detected by many well-known methods: such as XRD, XRF, DTA/TG, SEM, TEM, and solid NMR [2-5]. As Alite(Ca3SiO5) and Belite(Ca2SiO4) coexist with each other and the Alite main diffraction peaks superpose with those of Belite. It is difficult to use conventional powder X-ray diffraction techniques (radiation angle from 5皌o 80? to distinguish Alite and Belite. es Received ; Accepted
