ResumoThe solid solution between Al- and Fe-ettringite Ca6[Al1 − xFex(OH)6]2(SO4)3·26H2O was investigated. Ettringite phases were synthesized at different Al/(Al + Fe)-ratios (= XAl,total), so that XAl increased from 0.0 to 1.0 in 0.1 unit steps. After 8 months of equilibration, the solid phases were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), while the aqueous solutions were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). XRD analyses of the solid phases indicated the existence of a miscibility gap between XAl,total = 0.3–0.6. Some of the XRD reflections showed two overlapping peaks at these molar ratios. The composition of the aqueous solutions, however, would have been in agreement with both, the existence of a miscibility gap or a continuous solid solution between Al- and Fe-ettringite, based on thermodynamic modeling, simulating the experimental conditions.
