Abstract

This chapter provides a compact overview of the durability of calcium aluminate cements (CAC) in comparison to Portland cements (PC) in the context of (bio)chemically aggressive sewers. Special focus is on the CAC dissolution—precipitation reactions of alumina phases during acid attack and corresponding overall material response. Furthermore, the H2S adsorption behaviour and the impact of high Al3+ content on microbial growth is discussed.
