Ice nucleation by ordinary Portland cement
نویسندگان
چکیده
Portland cement was studied for its nucleating ability by the freezing behaviour exhibited of drops produced from aqueous suspension of Portland cement vis-a-vis of drops produced from suspensions of AgI, 2AgI.NaI and PbI,. I t is revealing to note that, at temperature colder than 5"C, Portland cement is as potent an ice nucleant as is either 2AgIaNaI or PbI,. At temperatures approaching 5"C, Portland cement alone is effective as nucleant but not the latter two. However, 8s compared to AgI, its effect is small at all the temperatures considered.

Solidification/Stabilization of Lead Contaminated Soil Using Magnesia Phosphate cement and Ordinary Portland cement
Background and objectives: Solidification/stabilization is an effective technique for reducing the leachability of contaminants in soils. Magnesia phosphate cement and ordinary Portland cement can be used to remediate soils contaminated. In this study, the performance of the solidified/stabilized soil was compared for mixtures composed of magnesia phosphate and ordinary Portland cement. Materia...

The freezing of water in Portland cement paste was investigated using a.c. impedance spectroscopy techniques. Length change and impedance measurements on cooling and warming were obtained simultaneously using a specially designed coupling technique. A new descriptor of frost resistance is described in terms of the high frequency arc depression angle in the impedance plane. Curves of the depress...

The construction industry is increasingly turning to the use of environmentally friendly materials in order to meet the sustainable aspect required by modern infrastructures. Consequently, for the last two decades, the expansion of this concept, and the increasing global warming have raised concerns on the extensive use of Portland cement due to the high amount of carbon dioxide gas associated ...
متن کاملCement 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...
