چکیده

Micro-Raman spectroscopy has been used to follow the reaction of free lime (CaO) exposed for 24h to moist air at 80 °C under conditions of different relative humidities (10-80% RH). X-ray diffraction and SEM imaging were applied as complementary techniques. The conversion of lime to calcium hydroxide and its subsequent carbonation to various calcium carbonate polymorphs was found to strongly depend on the relative humidity. At low RH (10-20%), only Raman spectroscopy revealed the formation of early amorphous CaCO3 which in the XRD patterns was detected only at ≥40% RH. However, XRD analysis could identify the crystalline polymorphs formed at higher relative humidities. Thus, between 20 and 60% RH, all three CaCO3 polymorphs (calcite, aragonite and vaterite) were observed via XRD whereas at high relative humidity (80%), calcite was the predominant reaction product. The results demonstrate the usefulness of Raman spectroscopy in the study of minor cement constituents and their reaction products on air, especially of amorphous character.

Efficiency of carbon dioxide absorption by soda lime in a closed system.

The efficiency of the carbon dioxide absorption by soda lime was determined in the following way. (1) " Circle " breathing. In six experiments, a subject breathing through a Waters canister fully packed with 425 g of fresh soda lime was connected to a closed circuit spirometer as described by Erikson et al. (1951). The expired air then passed the canister before entering the spirometer where th...
