For superior understanding of alite hydration an investigation of mechanically activated alite (M3 modification) was performed by XRD and heat flow calorimetry. Activation resulted in reduced particle size, a decreased mean crystallite size and partial amorphization. For the samples of activated alite a significantly accelerated and intensified hydration was observed and complete conversion of alite was found after 24 h. The enthalpy of reaction for crystalline alite was determined to be -548 J/g from measured heat of hydration after 24 h. The enthalpy of reaction of amorphous "alite" was found to be less exothermic (-386 J/g). The main hydration period is controlled by nucleation of C-S-H, while the transition from acceleration to deceleration period takes place after consumption of the small alite particles. XRD amorphous C-S-H phase is indicated to precipitate in considerable amount even in the highest activated alite before "long-range ordered", XRD detectable C-S-H was observed. (C) 2015 The Authors.
