Abstract
The interaction between simulated reference waste glasses SON68 and SM539 and cement has been studied in suspensions of Ordinary Portland Cement and synthetic young cement water with pH 13.5 at 30°C. The cement appears to trigger glass dissolution by consumption of glass matrix components. This leads to fast glass dissolution at a constant rate with formation of a porous gel layer on the glass. This is probably due mostly to the reaction of Si from the glass with portlandite, forming CSH phases. After consumption of the portlandite, the glass alteration rate is expected to decrease.
