Abstract:  The samples with the molar ratio C/(S + A) = 0.8* were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis at 180°C. The Si0₂ gels, containing from 4.32 —44.80% of Al₂0₃, as well as different forms of Si0₂ and Al₂0₃ [1] were applied as starting materials. The samples were studied by X-ray diffraction method, differential thermal analysis, infrared spectroscopy and electron microscopy. It was found that tobermorite was formed in the samples prepared from the gels containing up to 15% of Al₂0₃. The hydrogarnet arose when the aluminium content was higher. It was found that the entering of aluminium into tobermoritic structure advanced the transformation of C —S—H I into tobermorite. This substitution had also effect on the morphologie shapes of tobermoritic crystals.
