The subject of this paper is the study of the hydration process in cements made from raw mixes containing transition element oxides. The oxides used are ZrO 2, V 2O 5, Ni 2O 3, CuO, Co 2O 3, MnO, Cr 2O 3, TiO 2, MoO 3, and ZnO, and their percentage in the raw mixes is 2% w/w. The cement pastes are c...
