The results show that outer activation has a remarkable effect on improving the physical properties of slag cement, flyash cement and volcanic cement. For example, the compressive strength was increased by 5-10 MPa. Morever, the application of activation is beneficial to grind-aiding, early strength and water-reducing etc. (Author abstract) 4 Refs.展开更多

At equivalent dosages in terms of Al2O3, these substances are ranged in the following order in respect of inhibiting effect: Al(OH)1.78(SO4)0.61 ≥ Al2(SO4)3 > Al(OH)3. It is found that the plasticizing agents of the main types used in cement compositions have no influence on the inhibiting effect of aluminum-bearing admixtures. To control the setting time of cement paste, iron(II) sulphate may be used for partial substitution of Al2SO4·18H2O, and this operation is not influence on the results of ASR expansion test.展开更多
