      <description>Title: Carbonation of ternary building cementing materials
Authors: Fernández Carrasco, Lucía; Torrens Martín, David; Martínez Ramírez, Sagrario
Abstract: The carbonation processes of ettringite and calcium aluminate hydrates phases developed by hydration of calcium aluminate cement, fly ash and calcium sulphate ternary mixtures have been studied. The hydrated samples were submitted to 4% of CO2 in a carbonation chamber, and were analysed, previous carbonation and after 14 and 90 days of carbonation time, by infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction; the developed morphology was performed with the 14 days carbonated samples. The results evidenced that ettringite reacts with CO2 after 14 days of exposition time and evolves totally at 90 days; the developed hydrated phases C3AH6 in samples with major CAC content, also reacts with CO2. Due to carbonation, calcium carbonate – mainly vaterite but also aragonite-, depending on the initial formulation, aluminium hydroxide and gypsum were detected.</description>

      <description>Title: Recycling silicon solar cell waste in cement-based systems
Authors: Fernández Carrasco, Lucía; Ferrer, R.; Aponte Hernández, Diego Fernando; Fernández, P.
Abstract: This is a study of the recycling of crystalline solar cells by incorporating them in cement matrices. The hydration process of a mixture of calcium aluminate cement (CAC) and solar photovoltaic cell waste was researched and analyzed. The nature of the hydration products of various compositions of these mixtures was evaluated at a temperature of 20 1C by analyzing the samples through X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The total porosity and mechanical strength development of these materials were also determined. It was revealed that the presence of a solar cell residue of up to 5% in the cement matrices does not result in new hydration products that are different from those derived from the normal hydration of the CAC cement. Moreover, the material developed can be considered as an expansive cement blend because it releases H2 at early stages. The presence of waste causes a decrease in the mechanical strength and an increase in the total porosity of this material, but it can be used for applications such as thermal insulation</description>
