CHAPTER 3 SYNTHETIC FE-CONTAINING HYDRATES<br />

Fig. 30 Thermal analysis (TGA and DTG) of Al and Fe-monosulfate after 680 days.<br />

3.2.6. Solid solution between Al and Fe-monosulfate (C4(A,F)sH12)<br />

The similarity in the ionic radii of Al 3+ and Fe 3+ and the structure of Al- and Fe-<br />

monosulfate could allow Al-Fe substitutions in the structure and the formation of a solid<br />

solution. Solid solution formation can stabilize the solids by decreasing their solubility.<br />

Möschner et al. [16] observed the formation of a solid solution between Al- and Fe-<br />

ettringite with a miscibility gap. In contrast, no solid solution was found between Al- and<br />

Fe-monocarbonate due to the different symmetries of Al-monocarbonate (triclinic) and<br />

Fe-monocarbonate (rhombohedral) [19].<br />

In this study, mixed 3CaO(AlxFe1-x)2O3(CaSO4)12H2O were synthesized at room<br />

temperature by varying the Al/(Al + Fe) ratio from 0 to 1. Fig. 31 shows the XRD pattern<br />

of the 3CaO(AlxFe1-x)2O3(CaSO4)12H2O series.<br />
