CHAPTER 3 SYNTHETIC FE-CONTAINING HYDRATES<br />

Fig. 28 Spectral range 100 cm -1 – 1500 cm -1 of Raman spectra from sample Fe-Ms-20 °C<br />

(comparison with Al-monosulfate spectra [79]).<br />

The small peak at 1085 cm -1 was assigned to carbonate which was present due to carbon<br />

dioxide contamination. Sulfate vibrations are less intense in the Fe-monosulfate<br />

compound compared to Al-monosulfate compound. The vibration mode of sulfate was<br />

shifted from the more intense 1 mode: 992 cm -1 for Fe-Ms compared with 982 cm -1 for<br />

Al-monosulfate (or 981 cm -1 on Kuzel’s salt) [79, 90]. The 1 position of Fe-monosulfate<br />

synthesized at 20 °C corresponds to that of Al-monosulfate treated at 117 °C (i.e. 993 cm -<br />

1 ) [79]. The band position of Fe(OH)6 appeared at 508 cm -1 , which is significantly lower<br />

than for Al(OH)6 (532 cm -1 ). The shifts of the bands could indicate a possible substitution<br />

of Al by Fe as was previously observed between Al- and Fe- ettringite [79].<br />

The hydrogen bond network (Fig. 29) is highly modified in Fe-monosulfate compared to<br />

that in Al-monosulfate.<br />
