Fine CDW fractions (<5 mm) of different sorts are selected: siliceous waste (HsT), calcareous waste (HcG) and laminated glass waste. The binary mixtures HsT/glass and HcG/glass at mix-proportions of 1:1, 2:1 and 1:2, respectively, are analyzed with a range of characterization techniques (XRD, TG/DTA, SEM-EDX, NMR, FT-IR) in the pure pozzolan/lime system over a reaction time of 90 days. The results showed that the incorporation of highly reactive recycled glass modified the pozzolanic reaction of the binary mixtures with respect to each particular concrete waste (of low activity). The principal mineralogical phases of the reaction were calcite and C-S-H gel, the latter modifying the C/S and A/S ratios as a function of either the silica or the lime-based concrete waste and the glass content of the mixtures. A higher degree of polymerization, morphology, and sodium content of C-H-S gel formed when glass was added. Keywords: CDW waste mix; pozzolan reactivity; glass; hydrated phases; evolution 1. Introduction There is great concern at a global level over the relation between the economic growth of a country and its generation of industrial residues and waste [1] which, in most cases, are dumped in landfill sites. However, these wastes can, because of their nature, be reused as raw secondary materials in various industrial sectors, implying a substantial improvement, from environmental, economic and social points of view. One path for reuse is through the implementation of the Circular Economy Strategy, a new innovative model for socio-economic development that recasts the whole chain of production, consumption, distribution, and recovery of materials and, of course, the energetic economy in accordance with a cradle-to-cradle vision [2]. The economy of the European Union (EU), due to rapid industrial development, has built its growth on its own production of raw materials. The EU is seeking to develop a sustainable and efficient economy for the use of available resources, to implement this new socio-economic model in the future [3]. At present, Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) is one of the main channels for the reuse of construction waste [4] that, because of its nature, is included in the different regulations and instructions throughout the world [5]. CDW is formed of different components (concrete, tiles, glass, wood, steel, plastic, textiles) [6] that, once managed and Citation: de la Villa, R.V.; Rojas, M.F.; Martínez -Ramírez, S.; Fernández -Carrasco, L.; Cociña, E.V.; García -Giménez, R.

Materials 2021, 14, 6481 2 of 21 separated at recycling centers, produce secondary raw materials for various industrial applications, mainly in the field of construction and civil works. Their uncontrolled dumping and/or accumulation in landfill sites constitute significant environmental, economic and social problems [7]. The construction sector is one of the most directly involved sectors in the exploitation of these inorganic CDW wastes as recycled aggregate in sustainable concretes [8–11] and as pozzolanic material in the preparation of eco-cements [12–15]. These encouraging scientific-technical advances suggest that this line of investigation has a promising future, due to the heterogeneity of the waste products. Thus, there are currently no industrial applications for the fine fraction (<5 mm), obtained during the crushing of the recycled concrete and heaped in the open air at CDW management plants, despite their composition, as a function of the aggregate that was originally employed, rich in calcium and/or silica and in hydrated cement paste. In this sense, previous studies [16–18] all highlighted the viability of these residues as mineral additions of low pozzolanic activity in the manufacture of eco-cements with a lower clinker content and a smaller carbon footprint, identifying (in small proportions) C- S-H gel, C4AH13 and C4AcH11, in the concrete fine fraction/lime system. As is known, the exploitation of a low-activity pozzolan when mixed with other highactivity pozzolans will improve its performance, yielding binary, ternary and even quaternary pozzolanic mixtures [19–21], as is covered in the European regulation on common cements [22]. Laminated glass that is present in CDW residues, because of its amorphous nature, could constitute a waste stream for recycling as an agent activating pozzolanic mixtures. Previous experience with other recycled glass (almost 850,000 tons of waste glass is collected in Spain, mainly bottles [23]) may be taken into account. In recent years, using waste glass cullet as a secondary aggregate in concrete has been promoted and this can provide an environmentally friendly solution for the management of non-recyclable glass waste [24–29], among the applications of which is its addition to concrete as fine aggregate [30–32], and as a supplementary cementing material [33–38], due to its amorphous nature and high silica content. Most investigations have pointed to its high pozzolanic activity, the improvement of its properties, and the durability of the cement matrices when this material is incorporated at particle sizes below 300 µ, because it reduces the alkali-silica reaction [39–45]. The objective of the present paper is to generate knowledge on the pozzolanic reactivity of recycled pozzolanic mixtures, from low-activity (predominantly siliceous HsT and predominantly calcareous HcG) and high-activity (glass) CDW residues. Its objective is likewise to analyze and to identify the evolution of the mineralogical phases over the reaction time of the binary pozzolanic mixtures, HsT/glass and HcG/glass, in proportions of 1:1, 2:1 and 1:2, respectively. It all constitutes a fundamental scientific aspect, which is to select suitable pozzolanic mixtures for the manufacture of future eco-cements that are alternatives to the commercial cements currently in existence. 2. Materials and Methods 2.1. Materials Three different industrial residues from the construction and demolition sector were selected. Two corresponded to the fine fraction (<5 mm) from the crushing of recycled concrete: one of siliceous nature (HsT, s = siliceous) and another of calcareous nature (HcG, c = calcareous), deposited in the open air at the installations of the CDW recycling plants. The reasons for this selection are related to the original aggregate types that are traditionally used for the manufacture of commercial concretes. The third residue was recycled laminar glass, manually selected during the demolition of a building (glass). Once the CDW had been received, it was subjected to a drying process in a laboratory stove at 105 °C for 24 h and was then milled in a ball mill to a similar particle size to ordinary commercial cements, lower than 63 µm. Materials 2021, 14, 6481 3 of 21 Different binary mixtures in weigh, HsT/glass and HcG/glass were prepared in mixproportions of 1:1, 1:2 and 2:1, respectively, in order to analyze the synergy between these mineralogical additions in the pozzolanic properties and their reactivity over the hydration period. 2.2. Methods 2.2.1. Pozzolan Activity Test An accelerated chemical method in a pure pozzolan/calcium hydroxide (lime) system was used to evaluate the pozzolanic properties of the binary mixtures. To do so, 1g of residue was added to 75 mL of saturated lime solution (17.68 mmol/L) that was maintained at 40 °C in a laboratory stove until the end of the reaction (1, 7, 28 and 90 days). Subsequently, the solution was filtered, and the liquids were assayed with Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), to determine their lime content. The fixed lime was quantified as the difference between the lime present in the reference solution and the lime in the solution with the pozzolan at each age of curing [16]. Moreover, the solid residues, after the established period in the calcium hydroxide solution, were washed with ethanol and dried in an electric oven, at 60 °C over 24 h, in order to stop the pozzolanic reaction. The calcium hydroxide was an extra pure Ph. Eur., USP, BP chemical reagent [34]. The solutions were analyzed by ICP/MS NexION 300XX (Perkin-Elmer, Madrid, Spain. 2.2.2. Instrumental Techniques The instrumental techniques described below were used for the chemical and the mineralogical characterization, as well as for the follow up of the evolution of the hydrated phases throughout the reaction time. Chemical characterization of the principal oxides was performed with XRF, using a Philips PW-1404 X-Ray fluorescence spectrometer (Philips, Madrid, Spain) equipped with a Sc-Mo X-ray tube. Particle-size fineness and distribution in the waste was analyzed by laser granulometry (DLR), using a Malvern Mastersizer 3000 laser particle size analyzer (Panalytical, Almelo, The Netherlands) in dry dispersion mode (Aero S), equipped with red and blue sources (He-Ne and LED) and capable of particle size measurements within a range of 0.01 and 3500 µm. The values of D10, D50 and D90 represent the sieve diameters through which 10, 50 and 90% (in volume) of all particles pass. The mineralogy of the crystalline phases was analyzed by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) on a PAN analytical X-Pert PRO X-ray diffractometer (Malvern PanalyticalXRD, Madrid, Spain) fitted with a Cu anode. Their operating conditions were 40 mA, 45 kV, divergence slit of 0.5°, and 0.5 mm reception slits. The samples were scanned with a step size of 0.0167° (2θ) and 150 ms per step. The characterization of the samples was followed using the powder method between 5 and 60° (2θ) with rutile as an internal standard. Match v.3 and Fullprof software (Putz and Brandenburg, Bonn, Germany) for Rietveld analysis were used for quantification of the specimens [41–43]. The Crystallography Open Databased (COD) reference patterns were used for the identification of the phases. An Inspect FEI SEM/EDX Electron Microscope (Hillsboro, OR, USA) equipped with an energy dispersive X-ray analyzer (W source, DX4i analyzer and Si/Li detector (FEI, Hillsboro, USA) was used to perform the morphological studies and the quantification of the samples at surface level. Their chemical composition represented an average of 10 spot analyses. The analysis of the MAS NMR was completed with a Bruker Advance-400 spectrometer (Bruker, Kontich, Belgium). 29Si was recorded with a resonance frequency of 79.5 MHz and a rotation speed of 10 kHz; a pulse of 5 µs and a time between scans of 10s; number of transients, 8192. Tetramethylsilane (TMS) was used as the external standard. The spectra of 27Al were completed with a resonance frequency of 104.3 MHz; a rotation speed of Materials 2021, 14, 6481 4 of 21 10 kHz; a time between scans of 5s; a simple pulse sequence of 2 µs; number of transients, 400. An external standard of Al (H2O)63+ was used. The spectroscopic characterization by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT- IR), both of the waste and the samples subjected to the dissolution of Ca(OH)2, was within the medium infra-red band. The dry samples, once homogenized and pulverized were characterized by FT-IR, using the potassium bromide pellet method. A Bruker ALPHA FT-IR spectrometer (Bruker, Spain, Madrid) with a spectral range of 375/75,000 cm−1, a standard Ca KBr beam splitter 500/7500 cm−1 and a spectral resolution of 2 cm−1. Sample preparation consisted of the homogenization of 1.7 mg of the test sample in 300 mg of BrK to form a pressed pellet that was then exposed to the infrared light beam. 2.2.3. Pozzolanic Reaction Modelling The kinetic parameters of the pozzolanic reaction were calculated, by applying a kinetic-diffusive model [44–46], to perform a quantitative characterization of the pozzolanic activity of the pozzolan mixes. These coefficients represent a good quantitative criterion for evaluating the pozzolanic activity of the materials. The model is: 𝜉𝜉=𝐶𝐶𝑜𝑜−𝐶𝐶𝑡𝑡 𝐶𝐶𝑜𝑜= 1 −0.23 ∙exp �−3𝑡𝑡 𝜏𝜏�∙�−1 + exp �𝑡𝑡 𝜏𝜏��∙1 𝜏𝜏 𝐶𝐶𝑜𝑜𝐷𝐷𝑒𝑒𝑟𝑟𝑠𝑠2+ 0.23 ∙exp �−𝑡𝑡 𝜏𝜏�∙1 𝜏𝜏 𝐶𝐶𝑜𝑜𝑘𝑘𝑟𝑟𝑠𝑠2−𝐶𝐶𝑐𝑐𝑜𝑜𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐 (1) where: De = the effective diffusion coefficient. K = the reaction rate constant. Co = the initial conductivity of the solution. 𝜏𝜏 = constant of time (over this time, the radius of the pozzolan nucleus decreases to 37% of its average initial radius rs). Ccorr = correction term, which represents the CH concentration remainder that is not consumed in the reaction. (Co − Ct)/Co = relative loss of conductivity (dimensionless magnitude). Ct = absolute loss of conductivity with time for the pozzolan/CH solution. The pozzolanic reaction is a chemical reaction that develops in stages, which have different resistances (the stages with the highest resistance (the slowest), control the process). Accordingly, there may be different behaviors in accordance with the controlling stage: diffusive control (described by the 2nd term of Equation (1)), kinetic control (3rd term) and mixed kinetic-diffusive control (both terms) [44,45]. 3. Results 3.1. Granulometric and Chemical Characterization of Blended Pozzolans The chemical analysis by XRF of the different pozzolan combinations is presented in Table 1. An increase was observable in the content of SiO2 and Na2O when a higher content of glass was added to the binary mixtures, which was related with the silica-sodium nature of the amorphous glass (content of SiO2 and Na2O equal to 70.30% and 13.26%, respectively) [18]. The sum of SiO2, Al2O3, and Fe2O3 varied between 64.28% and 67.93% for the mixtures with silica-based concrete waste (HsT) and between 32.71% and 52.15% for the mixtures prepared with calcareous-based concrete waste (HcG). These different properties influence the Loss on Ignition (LOI) values, all the more so with a higher content of concrete waste in the binary mixtures. Materials 2021, 14, 6481 5 of 21 Table 1.

Two particle density maximums were located at 4–6 µm and 12 µm, respectively. The shape of the curves was very similar in all cases, with minimal differences in intensity of the maximums. The HsT silica-based mixtures presented a slightly increased intensity within the 12 µm band, while the HcG calcareous-based mixtures predominated in the 4–6 µm band, as a consequence of the lower resistance of the lime to the ball-milling process. Figure 1. Volume density curves of the particle-size distributions of the different mixtures by laser diffraction. The values of the particle sizes for the parameters D10, D50 and D90 are presented in Table 2, showing that all the mixtures presented a high fineness, because the D50 values were practically less than 10 µm. In addition, a slight increase of fineness was observed in the HsT/Glass mixtures with regard to the HcG/glass mixtures and in the mixtures with larger quantities of glass (mix-proportion 1:2). Despite these minimum differences, the fineness had no effect on the reactivity of the pozzolan mixtures. Table 2. Values of D10, D50 and D90 (µm) obtained by laser granulometry.

Evolution of Pozzolanic Activity and Modeling Fixed lime evolution of the different mixtures in the pozzolan mix/lime-saturated solution system is presented in Figure 2 over a reaction time of 90 days. All the mixtures had fixed high contents of lime, over 80%, at 28 days into the pozzolanic reaction. Values of around 90% at 90 days were even recorded. The differences between the two types of concrete wastes (HsT and HcG) were minimal, with a slight increase in fixed lime in the HsT/glass mixture, principally at early ages (2 days). With regard to the values obtained for the individual HsT and HcG wastes [17], a comparative study of these results indicated that the incorporation of glass waste in the fine fraction of recycled concrete produced a significant increase in the consumption of lime in the saturated solution. At 28 days of curing, the fixed lime contents during the pozzolanic reactions of both the HsT and the HcG wastes were 59.6% and 22.3%, respectively, as against values of around 80% for all the binary HsT/glass and HcG/glass mixtures. This increase in fixed lime in the mixtures was related with the amorphous nature of the recycled glass and its high content of reactive silica (> 70% of SiO2), which implies high levels of pozzolanic activity [38,39]. On the other hand, this synergic effect of glass on the pozzolanicity of the binary mixtures could to some extent provide over-valued percentages of fixed lime, due to the presence of Na2O (from the glass) in the lime-saturated solution that could provoke the precipitation of some of the portlandite, removing it from the solution [18,47]. Figure 2. Evolution of fixed lime over the reaction time in the different mixtures. The modeling studies of the pozzolanic reaction of the binary mixtures under analysis, in accordance with Equation (1), are presented in Table 3. If we observe the constant of the speed of the pozzolanic reaction (K values), all the binary mixes had a pozzolanic activity in the order of 10−3 h−1, with minimum differences between them. This order of magnitude for the mixtures was higher than the K values obtained for the individual reactions of HsT and HcG (10−4 h−1) and was a higher order of magnitude in the case of the glass.

Mica, quartz and feldspars accompanied the calcite in proportions of 5%. In the HsT/glass 1:1 mixture, the quartz predominated in the initial mineral fraction that also contained mica, calcite and feldspars in proportions of 5%. In both mixtures (HcG/glass 1:1 and HsT/glass 1:1), the proportion of the amorphous phase was higher than 50% (Table 4). After 1, 7, 28 and 90 days of reaction with Saturated Lime Solution (DSC), the proportions of mica and quartz in the HcG/glass 1:1 and HsT/glass 1:1 mixture diminished, until reaching trace values. The concentration of calcite increased until day 28, observing a reduction at 90 days, in the HcG/glass 1:1 mixture and progressive increases in the HsT/glass 1:1 mixture. As the reaction progressed up until day 28, the initially dominant amorphous phase saw its content reduced and after 90 days, it rose again in the HcG/glass 1:1 mixture; while its content in HsT/glass 1:1 diminished (Table 4). Increased concentrations of calcite and the reduction of the amorphous phase at day 1 of the reaction were noted when the proportion of waste in the initial mixtures increased with respect to the glass (HcG/glass 2:1 and HsT/glass 2:1). With the increase in the reaction time, a progressive decrease in the calcite and an increase in the amorphous phase of the HcG/glass 2:1 mixture were noted, contrary to the behavior of the HsT/glass 2:1 mixture. Quartz and feldspar decreased slightly over the reaction time, while mica was detected in trace concentrations at all ages (Table 4). When the proportion of glass in the mixture increased (1:2) in both cases, calcite crystallized most of all and the content of the amorphous phase diminished at all reaction times [54]. 3.4. NMR Analysis In Figure 3, the 27Al spectra of the binary HcG/glass mixtures at mix-proportions of 1:2 and 2:1 is shown at 90 days of curing, also including the initial HcG and glass waste. The initial glass fundamentally consisted of Al (IV), at the bridging sites in the dreierketten chains; while Al (IV) and Al (VI) signals were noted in the initial HcG, the latter linked to signals of ettringite, C4AH13 and/or carboaluminates from the initially hydrated cement pastes [16]. No ettringite was formed in the binary mixtures at 90 days in the presence of glass and the signals of C4AH13 and/or carboaluminates were maintained. The presence of glass in the mixture prevented the formation of ettringite during the pozzolanic reaction and glass predominated at the mix-proportion of 1:2. The loss of the signal corresponding to Al (VI) in octahedral coordination was appreciated. Materials 2021, 14, 6481 9 of 21 Figure 3. NMR of the 29Al cores of the initial HcG and glass mixtures and binary mixtures at 90 days (Et = ettringite). An NMR analysis of the 29Si spectra of the mixtures (Figure 4) revealed that the HcG samples, both at the start and at 90 days presented signals of Q0 (−72 ppm) units, showing the presence of isolated silica tetrahedra, which remained unreactive. In turn, the existence of Q1 units of C-S-H gel forming dimer silicate tetrahedrons (sorosilicates) and Q2 units of C-S-H gel in bridging silicate tetrahedrons (single chain inosilicate group) was evident in the HcG at 90 days. When the HcG waste was mixed with the glass (HcG/glass) and left to react over 90 days, the signal from the Q0 units decreased until it almost disappeared in the sample with the higher percentage of glass (1:2) and the Q2 signals became stronger; likewise, signals at −91 ppm from some Q3 units were detected in the initial glass that was ascribed to laminar silicates. Figure 4. NMR of the 27Si cores of the initial HcG and glass waste and binary mixtures at 90 days. AI (VI) and AI (IV) signals were noted in the silica-based HsT/glass mixtures, both at the start and at 90 days of the reaction time (Figure 5). As with the lime waste, a signal relating to ettringite was observed in the absence of glass [20], but when the waste was mixed with glass, the formation of ettringite was not identified in the mineralogical phase.

Calcite (up) and amorphous phases (down) evolution up to 90 days of reaction. This process occurs in calcareous mix (HcG/glass) between 1 and 7 days, but in siliceous mix (HsT/glass) it lasts up to 90 days (Figure 12). The study of the pozzolanic reaction through the formation of C-S-H gel is related to the chemical composition of the CDW. When siliceous-based waste is used (HsT), the reaction is inhibited in all the mixtures under study, and at all reaction times; however, when calcareous-based waste (HcG) is used, the lower concentration of silica in the waste favors the reaction at 90 days and at 7 days in the HsT waste/glass mixture at mix-propor- tions of 1:1 and 2:1, respectively. The effect of the addition of glass to the initial waste delayed the formation of C-S-H gel (Figure 12). The initial CDW products (HsT and HcG) of the pozzolanic reaction were the C-S-H gels, which acted as the nucleation mechanism for aluminate formation (C4ACH11 and C4AH13), in those reactions that mainly involved calcite [54] and ettringite fibers in the presence of sulfur [55]. The mineralogical phases formed in the binary mixtures (HcG/glass and HsT/glass) from CDW, only C-S-H gel are observed as a product of the pozzolanic reaction, indicating that the abundance of silica modifies the reaction from the initial stages in all mix-proportions and reaction times under study. NMR in the mixtures 1: 2 registered the disappearance of the signal corresponding to Al (VI) in octahedral coordination, corresponding to the positions of the structural edges of the C-S-H gels. This fact would explain the loss of aluminum detected by SEM and the absence of ettringite [60], preventing the possibility of its nucleation with the loss of aluminum located in the reactive zones of the C-S-H gel. The loss of octahedral Al (VI) in the gel conditioned the formation of ettringite fibers that subsequently developed at its expense [61]. The signal at 2 ppm in the 27Al NMR spectra was associated with a highly disordered phase with aluminum in six-fold coordination [62], which was very disordered and was therefore not detected by XRD analysis but was explained by less formation of ettringite; in other words, this phase incorporated the aluminum that formed no ettringite. The C-S-H gel differed from the gel obtained in other pozzolanic reactions [62], which in turn depended on the nature of the waste and the proportion of glass. Thus, from the morphological point of view, the gels were very frayed layers in the mix-proportions 1:1 and 2:1 (with little glass); whereas in the 1:2 mix (mainly glass), the appearance of the C- S-H gel was acicular in the presence of a lot of carbonate (HcG) and in the cloisonné style with an abundance of silica. From the results of NMR analysis, the presence of glass was detected that strengthened the formation of C-S-H gel with a higher degree of polymerization (Q2 and Q3) than the gel that was initially formed in the pozzolanic reaction of the individual waste. In the binary mixtures with an abundance of glass (1:2), the signal corresponding to the presence Materials 2021, 14, 6481 17 of 21 of fibrous (Q2) and laminated (Q3) silicates became more acute. A higher amount of silica, determined by EDX in the 1:2 mixture, favored the formation of C-S-H gels with a Q3 degree of polymerization (laminated appearance) which, together with the gels of a Q2 degree of polymerization (fibrous appearance), explain the morphology of lengthy and slightly laminated fibers observed in the SEM images. From the point of view of the microstructure of the C-S-H gel formed at 90 days, it presented a higher degree of polymerization, because fewer Q1 and more Q2 and Q3 units were formed. With the aim of quantifying that aspect, a deconvolution was carried out of the NMR spectra of 29Si (Figures 13 and 14). In both cases, sample polymerization increased, because the more intense signals were from the Q3 units. The absence of Q1 units in both binary mixtures was notable. The binary mixtures with calcareous waste (HcG/glass) generated C-S-H gel with an acicular morphology, a higher number of Q3 units and a lower number of Q2 units; in other words, the C-S-H gel had flatter and less linear structures. Figure 13. Deconvolution of the 29Si NMR signal from the HcG/glass mixtures at 90 days of hydration, compared with HcG and glass at the same age. The C-S-H gel in the binary mixtures with siliceous waste (HsT/glass) evolved into cloisonné style (honeybee panel) structures that, from a microstructural point of view, reflected greater polymerization, an increased number of Q4 and Q3 units, and a reduction of Q2 units.

Paying attention to the development of the chemical balance of the reaction, the generation of calcium carbonate moved towards a higher formation of this specie can be manifested in addition to an amorphous phase, in some of its polymorphic phases as aragonite, when the proportion of carbonate was small and as calcite when the concentration of carbonate was high [21]. The XRD and FT-IR results confirm the presence of calcite in all samples; however, the FT-IR analysis also indicates the presence of aragonite in the siliceous mixtures (HsT/glass). These mixtures have a particle size that initially favors (2 days) the increase in the speed of chemical reactions, being able to form aragonite and calcite, the duration of the carbonation process that lasts up to 90 days advantage the formation of calcite (Figure 12). The concentration of sodium in the liquid solutions after finalizing the curing times confirmed the ease with which that element was incorporated in the C-S-H gel when the silica-based rather than the calcareous-based waste was used. Ca/Na were both incorporated in the C-S-H gel and given the silica-sodium composition, the sodium had a greater affinity for inclusion in the structure of the C-S-H gel. 5. Conclusions The synergy between the calcareous and siliceous CDW wastes from concrete and the glass wastes when mixed in binary mixtures has been demonstrated, even though each of these materials separately showed different levels of pozzolanic activity. Carbonation characterized by the double process of calcium carbonate crystallization and decrease of the amorphous phase is the reaction produced under these conditions. The reaction products are calcite as the crystalline phase, and C-S-H gels in the amorphous phase. The presence of glass in the binary mixtures advantage the formation of calcite, enhances the formation of CSH gels with a higher degree of polymerization, compared to the C-S-H gel initially formed in the pozzolanic reaction of the individual residue, and prevents the formation of hydrated phases of the calcium aluminates such as ettringite. The calcareous (HcG) or siliceous (HsT) nature of the waste in the binary mixture with dominant glass (1:2) changes the C-S-H gels morphology by varying the proportion of polymerization units of the tetrahedra, showing acicular morphology with a greater number of Q3 units and less than Q2 units with the calcareous waste, which evolves to cloisonné style morphology by increasing the number of Q4 and Q3 units, and decreasing the Q2 units. The ease of sodium incorporation in C-S-H gels stands out when the waste is siliceous in nature with respect to lime; as a result of Ca/Na competition in incorporation into C-S-H gels and, of the silicosodic nature of the glass that favors greater affinity of sodium towards the structure of the C-S-H gel.
