Abstract

In this work, the formation and thermal stability of mayenite by using two-step synthesis in a 25–1150 °C temperature range was examined. It should be indicated that, within 1 h of hydrothermal treatment (130 °C; CaO/Al2O3 = 1.714, w/s = 10), katoite and calcium monocarboaluminate were obtained. Meanwhile, the largest quantity of the latter compound was formed already after 4 h of isothermal curing. In the next stage of this work, the calcination of synthesis products was performed. It was observed that after 1 h of thermal treatment at 150 °C temperature, the crystal structure of calcium monocarboaluminate was destroyed and at a slightly higher temperature (240 °C), gibbsite was fully decomposed. Also, peaks of other calcium carbonate forms, aragonite, were observed. It should be indicated that katoite recrystallized to mayenite at 310 °C. The results of in situ XRD experiment showed that, when the temperature of calcination was increased to 600 °C, aragonite became metastable and started to recrystallize to calcite, which fully decomposed to calcium oxide at 900 °C. Besides, the intensity of diffraction maximums typical to mayenite increased in 850–1150 °C temperature range.
