Interaction of tartaric acid during hydration of Portland cement
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hydration of Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) in the presence of tartaric acid has been studied by using different techniques. Calorimetric studies have shown a rapid enhanced heat evolution within 5 min of hydration in presence of 1.0 wt% tartaric acid with a strong retardation of silicate phase hydration. DSC and X-ray diffraction studies have confirmed the formation of calcium tartarate hydrate in presence of 20.0 wt% tartaric acid. This compound is separated in the form of crystals as identified by SEM studies. I.R. studies confirmed the interaction of tartaric acid with mineral phases of the cement. The retardation of hydration has been explained on the basis of precipitation of calcium tartarate hydrate at the surface of cement grains.

Cement Composition Effects on the Rheological Property Evolution in Concentrated Cement–Polyelectrolyte Suspensions
We have studied the rheological property evolution and hydration behavior of white and ordinary portland cement (type I) pastes and concentrated cement–polyelectrolyte suspensions. Cement composition had a marked effect on the elastic property evolution (G (t)) and hydration behavior of these suspensions in the presence of poly(acrylic acid)/poly(ethylene oxide) copolymer (PAA/PEO), even though...

The production of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) as the most expensive constituent of concrete is associated with destructive environmental effects and significant energy consumption. Thus, the use of supplementary cementitious materials such as Natural or synthetic pozzolans is a fundamental solution that affects the kinetics of hydration of cementitious materials. In this article, to evaluate...

An alkali-activated blend of aluminum cement and class F fly ash is an attractive solution for geothermal wells where cement is exposed to significant thermal shocks and aggressive environments. Set-control additives enable the safe cement placement in a well but may compromise its mechanical properties. This work evaluates the effect of a tartaric-acid set retarder on phase composition, micros...
متن کاملHydration Study of Ordinary Portland Cement in the Presence of Zinc Ions
Hydration products of Portland cement pastes, hydrated in water and in the presence of zinc ions were studied comparatively at different ages. Hydration products were studied by X ray diffractions (XRD) and infrared spectroscopy (IR). Although IR is not frequently used in cement chemistry, it evidenced a new phase Ca(Zn(OH) 3 ) 2 . 2H 2 O formed during cement hydration in the presence of zinc. ...
