Abstract
When aluminium-rich phase minerals are added to Portland cement, Al atoms will enter the C-S-H and Al, then a substitution reaction will occur, forming a hydrated silica-calcium aluminate (C-A-S-H), which changes the molecular structure of the cement material. Due to limitations in experimental methods, the research on the bonding effect between corroded ions and Al-substituted structures is still unclear. Here, the mechanism of an Al substitution reaction affecting the adsorption of chloride and sulphate ions was studied using simulation. The C-A-S-H model of aluminium random substitution was built, evaluating the binding effects among the C-A-S-H, and sulphate and chloride ions. The results demonstrated that the C-A-S-H structure generated by the Al substitution reaction increased the physical adsorption capacity of the chloride and sulphate ions. The adsorption capacity of the sulphate ions was 13.26% higher than that before the Al substitution, and the adsorption capacity of chloride ions was 21.32% higher than that before the Al substitution. The addition of high aluminium phase minerals caused the interfacial flocculants C-A-S-H and C-S-H to connect and intertwine in the the interface transition zone (ITZ) structure. The addition of high-alumina phase minerals improves the microstructure of concrete hydration products, improving the physical and mechanical properties and durability of concrete. After the addition of 20% lithium slag, the sulphate ion erosion content and the chloride ion erosion content of the concrete decreased by 13.65% and 15.72%, respectively. This paper provides a deeper understanding of the effect of high-alumina phase admixtures on concrete at the micro-scale.
