Abstract
The phases identified in two industrial cement mixtureswere qualitatively and quantitatively characterizedbefore and during their hydration process. The studywas carried out as a function of time, water/cement ratioand temperature; the characterization was performedusing XRPD (with the Rietveld method to obtainquantitative phase analysis, hereafter QPA), SEM/EDSand ESEM techniques. QPA revealed that the drymixtures have similar composition and that differ for thesource of calcium sulphates. The use of differentcalcium sulphates need different w/c ratios and givesrise to a different amounts of C6AS3H32, amorphousphase and to a different reaction rate. Results fromESEM technique agree with XRPD results and confirmthe different behaviour of the mixtures. Hightemperature reduces the difference in the reaction rate
