Fig. 20. Calculated solubility products of Fe-Mc and Fe-Hc from the solubility experiments.<br />

Squares: experimental solubility product of Fe-Hc, Triangles: experimental solubility<br />

product of Fe-Mc.<br />

The solubility products of Fe-Mc (-34.59) and Fe-Hc (-30.83) are about 2-3 log units<br />

lower than those of Al-Mc (-31.47) and Al-Hc (-29.12), respectively. Note that a similar<br />

difference in the solubility products between Al- and Fe-monosulfate was found (see next<br />

section), while the solubility product of Fe-ettringite (-44.0) was found to be slightly<br />

higher than that of Al-ettringite (-44.9). This indicates that the Fe-AFm phases are<br />

potentially stable under conditions where Al-AFm can be formed while the formation of<br />

Fe-ettringite is less probable under conditions where Al-ettringite is stable.<br />
