Study on the early Hydration of Alkali-Activated Slag Cementing Materials

Abstract:

The early hydration of alkali-activator slag(AAS) cementing material is studied by changing the environment temperature, the proportion of slag and fly ash, water glass module, and dosage of sodium silicate. The results show that as the temperature raise, the hydration rate and hydration heat of the AAS cementing materials will remarkably accelerate. Joining coal ash in the pure slag cementing material can effectively slowdown its hydration reaction, and the hydration heat is also reduced.
