Résumé

At low temperature (T<10°C), CaAl2O14H20 is formed by hydration of high-alumina cements (HACs). HACs are used for refractory applications ; heat treatments then lead to thermal decomposition of CaAl2O14H20, which first dehydrates to CaAl2O4xH2x (x < 10) and finally to the anhydrous phase CaAl2O4. In CaAl2O14H20, aluminium atoms are 6-coordinated, whereas they are 4-coordinated in CaAl2O4. Materials heat-treated between 120°C and 900°C are amorphous and, therefore, only short-range order techniques can be used to study the environment of ions, in particular calcium. Solid-state NMR cannot be used due to low natural occurence of the isotope 43Ca. Our innovation is then to study the changes in calcium and aluminium environments during CaAl2O14H20 dehydration by X-ray absorption spectroscopy (EXAFS and XANES). Ca K-edge EXAFS spectra show a decrease in Ca-O distance and a reduction of the number of oxygen neighbours in the first coordination shell. Al K-edge XANES spectra indicate an important distorsion of the aluminium sites when amorphisation occurs. The relative contents of A14 and Al6 are determined by 27Al MAS NMR.
