The ion concentration, PH value of pore solution and the hydration of two low iron calcium aluminate cements based on bauxite (BCACs) with different sulfur content were investigated by XRD, ICP-OES, PH meter and SEM. The results indicate that the sulfur in the bauxite and coal results in the formation of ye'elimite (C(4)A(3)S) in BCAC. The more the sulfur content in BCAC the more the C(4)A(3)S formed. The hydration of C(4)A(3)S decreases the ion concentrations of Ca, Al and the PH values but increases the concentration of S. Hydration and hydrates of CA are influenced by the hydration of C(4)A(3)S in BCAC. CAH(10) is found in the hydration of both BCAC samples, but C(2)AH(8) is only found in the hydrates of the BCAC with lower SO3 content. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
