Influence of additve on over-sulfur phosphogypsum–ground granulate blast-furnace slag cement

摘要

The effect of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and polycarboxylate superplasticizer amount on over-sulfur phosphogypsum-ground granulate blast-furnace slag cement was investigated. The mechanical performances and hydration mechanism of the cement with different proportions of NaOH and polycarboxylate superplasticizer (BASF) were analyzed based on setting time, the additive quantity of water, strength test, XRD and SEM analyses. The results showed that the polycarboxylate superplasticizer, can increase the densification and the strength of the cement, to improve the performance of the cement anti-carbonation properties. NaOH as an alkali activator significantly reduces the cement setting time and improves the cement early strength. But the acceleration of hydration process produces coarse crystalline hydration products and the osteoporosis structure of hardened paste, which has a negative effect on long term strength.
