The Effect of Biological Corrosion on the Hydration Processes of Synthetic Tricalcium Aluminate (C₃A).

ABSTRACT: This paper presents a study related to the biological degradation of a tricalcium aluminate (C₃A) phase treated with reactive media from the agricultural industry. During one month of setting and hardening, synthetic C₃A was subjected to corrosion in corn silage, pig slurry and chicken manure. The hardening process of the C₃A phase in water was used as a reference sample. The phase composition and microstructure of the hydrating tricalcium aluminate slurries were characterised by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal analysis (DTA/TG/DTG/EGA), scanning microscopy (SEM, EDS) and infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). In the samples studied, it was observed that the qualitative and quantitative phase composition of the synthetic tricalcium aluminate preparations changed d
