Damaging effects of deicing chemicals on concrete materials (2006, result): “CH and ettringite peaks were hardly seen in this sample (subjected to 60 W–D cycles), neither in the sample subjected to 20 W–D cycles, which might correspond to leaching as identified in previous studies [4,6,17].”
Decalcification shrinkage of cement paste (2006, methodology): “an increase in porosity and subsequent loss in strength [6,13,14].”
Solubility and structure of calcium silicate hydrate (2004, methodology): “—To facilitate determinations of the solubility of C–S–H at low Ca/Si ratios, several of the samples in both groups were decalcified in 6 M ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) solutions [55-57] prior to determinations of solubility.”
Effects of Decalcification on the Microstructure and Surface Area of Cement and Tricalcium Silicate Pastes | NIST (2004, background): “[5] have estimated that the equilibrium calcium concentration of a solution saturated in CH increases from 0.”
