Research of physical and chemical processes associated with corrosion of cements (“Caking”) in dampy wet air

Objective. The paper is aimed at clarifying the mechanism and kinetics of the processes leading to cement caking. Methods. To determine phase composition, the following modern physical and chemical methods were used: XRF, derivatography and electron microscopy. Results. The data obtained show that the “aging” of cements during their forced storage in humid air through the adsorption of water vapor, and then CO2, is associated with the processes of hydrolysis, hydration in surface layers of particles, is primarily relevant for the most reactive minerals of Portland cement clinker. The deepening of these processes also depends on the state of the corroded surface of minerals. Conclusion. The work carried out makes it is possible to preliminarily outline storage conditions for freshly ground Portland cements (according to the kinetics of sorption – the storage duration, according to isotherms – the permissible relative humidity), at which the LOI value of commercial cement remains stable for the required minimum time.
