Characterization of hydrated magnesium carbonate materials with synchrotron radiation-based scanning transmission X-ray spectromicroscopy

Abstract

Soft X-ray spectromicroscopy reveals the evolution of different phases in the formation of green alternative cements. Formation of hydrated magnesium carbonate (HMC) cement phases from the carbonation of brucite has been investigated using synchrotron radiation (SR) based scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) at Mg and O K-edges. HMC is formed from the reaction of brucite and sodium bicarbonate in water. The introduction of magnesium …
