Samenvatting:Nanostructural optimization is key to enhancing the performance of low-carbon cements. Supersulfated cement (SSC) is an eco-friendly, low-carbon cement primarily composed of blast furnace slag and calcium sulfate. This study investigates the effects of two types of crystalline anhydrite on the hydration degree and strength of SSC. The experiment used III <inline-formula>CaSO4</inline-formula> (high solubility) and II-U <inline-formula>CaSO4</inline-formula> (low solubility) as sulfate activators, evaluating the mechanical properties of anhydrite produced at different calcination temperatures through an analysis of pore structure, phase composition, reaction degree of mineral powder, and hydration heat. The results indicate that II-U anhydrite enhances slag hydration, reduces pore size, and significantly improves the compressive strength of SSC. This improvement is attributed to its impact on slag hydration: it reduces gypsum consumption rate, delays ettringite formation, promotes gel product formation, decreases the volume ratio of ettringite to calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) gel, fills pores, and decreases porosity. This study reveals the influence of calcined dihydrate gypsum phase changes on the macroscopic properties of SSC and the microstructure of hydration, elucidating the hydration mechanism of anhydrite-based SSC. This work provides a nanomaterial-based strategy for SSC design via crystal phase engineering.
