thermodynamic modeling of the hydration process, which predicts formation of stable<br />

Al/Fe-siliceous hydrogarnet in cement system.<br />

The determination of the solubility products of these hydrates will help to extend the<br />

thermodynamic data base of cement minerals and establish whether and to which extent<br />

Fe-containing hydrates are stable in fresh and in leached cementitious systems. The<br />

results from this study on the Fe speciation in cementitious systems are important for a<br />

better understanding of cement-water interactions with a view to the durability of<br />

cementitious materials.<br />

Keywords: Fe-containing hydrates; solubility product; solid solution; crystal structure;<br />
