This work demonstrates the great influence that the specific surface of a Portland cement has on its high or low resistance to sulfate ion attack = SIA, by means of the accelerated method ASTM C452. For this purpose, two Portland cements were tested, by this method: A Portland cement PY (3,83% C3A)

✦ Synopsis
The relative tendency of different portland cements to remove chloride ions from the mix water by forming chloro-complexes is an important factor in the study of the corrosion of the embedded steel. The tri-calcium aluminate(C3A) phase of the ordinary portland cement(OPC) plays a dominant role in binding the chloride ions, but little quantitative information is available in the literature concerning the relative influence of the tetra-calcium aluminoferrite(CaAF) phase of the cement. The present investigation is an attempt to elucidate the role of C4AF in the sulphate resistant portland cement with respect to chloride binding. It is concluded that the chlorides in SRPC are bound in the form of the chloro-complex C,F.CaC12. of the cement. lOH,O which is derived from the C4AF phase
