As an ideal cementitious material for the maintenance of historic buildings and the
replacement of interior decoration mortars, the widespread application of natural hydraulic …

Raman spectroscopy has been employed to study the evolution of sulfo-aluminate and
hydroxyl phases in pastes made with ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and fly ash (FA) …

Carbonation of cementitious systems is an important phenomenon from both durability
(rebar corrosion) and greenhouse emissions (CO2 sequestration) perspectives. Several …

Non-destructive investigation of hydrated cement microstructure is still a big challenge. In
this study, we present non-destructive image and structural analysis of hydrated monoclinic …

To better understand the early hydration impact of cement phases on subsequent
accelerated carbonation, this study mixed alite (C 3 S) and belite (β-C 2 S) with 40 wt% of …

Abstract X-ray Raman Scattering (XRS) is a new probe to analyze the local chemical
environment of elements of interest. In this communication, XRS is, for the first time, used in …

Solid waste derived clinker design methodology was established based on thermodynamic
simulation and experiment validation via the recycling of incinerated sewage sludge ash …

This review aims to look at the development of Raman spectroscopy as applied to the field of
cement science. Starting with a historical overview, it then considers the spectra of cements …

Portland cement emits bright near-infrared photoluminescence that can be excited by light
wavelengths ranging from at least 500–1000 nm. The emission has a peak wavelength near …

Raman Spectroscopy was used to track the free water and the cementitious gel phases
when Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and tricalcium silicate (C 3 S) were partially …
