Popis: The type and quantity of hydration products in cement stone (plain cement, lightweight cement with cenospheres, and cement mixed with expansive additive) hydrated at 20 and 75°C were studied. The changes in the cement stone structure under the influence of lightweight and expansive additives and raised hardening temperature were studied with complex thermal analysis, infrared spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. In the case of raised hardening temperature, the cenospheres and the expansive additive improve the crystallization of hydration products. A chemical reaction between the cenospheres and portlandite formed from the cement hydration was observed, accompanied by a decrease of the portlandite quantity. The expansive additive stimulates the formation of hydration products, which were thermally stable and decompose at temperatures above 600°C.
