    AnnotationThe effect of sulfates on chloride ingress and microstructure in Portland-limestone cement – metakaolin paste was studied. Crystalline and amorphous phases were investigated with X-ray powder diffraction and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Free chlorides were determinedwith ion chromatography. The influence of metakaolin on the microstructure and chloride binding was highlighted by comparing the material with pure Portland-limestone cement paste. The results showed that the high Al content in metakaolin increased the chloride binding ability of the binder and Al incorporation in the C–S–H phase. Close to the surface, metakaolin admixture contributed in greater polymerization of the silicate chains of C–S–H, while larger amounts of unreacted clinker were observed, compared to deeper parts. At higher depths, chlorides bound in the form of Friedel’s salt and free chlorides, were considerably reduced, attributed to refinement of the matrix. The presence of sulfates in the exposure solution affected chloride binding by inhibiting the formation of Friedel’s salt and increasing free chlorides in the pore solution. Moreover, sulfates decreased the polymerization of the silicate chains in the C–S–H of the Portland-limestone cement – metakaolin paste and reduced the hydration of clinker in pure Portland-limestone cement paste.
