CHAPTER 4 FE-CONTAINING HYDRATES IN HYDRATED CEMENT<br />

intensities of the spectra, thus indicating similar symmetry. Similarly, no siginificant<br />

difference were observed between C3FSH4 and C3(A,F)SH4.<br />

In this study, Fe-containing phases were identifyed in hydrated cement based on EXAFS<br />

spectra due to the capability of the technique to identify poorly crystalline phases and<br />

those with low Fe concentrations. The EXAFS spectra of possible stable Fe-containing<br />

phases like the clinkers (C4AF and C2F), Fe(OH)3, C4FcH12, C6Fs3H32, C3(A,F)SH4,<br />

C3FSH4 and Fe-hydrotalcite were used as a reference compounds. Other possible Fe-<br />

containing phases like Al/Fe-solid solution AFm, AFt and hydrogarnet were not<br />

considered as the feature of the spectra are nearly identical with those of the pure Fe-<br />

containing AFm, AFt and hydrogarnet phases. Also C4FsH12 was not used as reference as<br />

the features are nearly identical with those of C4FcH12.<br />
