Properties of Cement with Photocatalytic Composite Material

Abstract:

The paper presents the results of the determination of the effect of a photocatalytic composite material (PCM) with the composition SiO₂‒TiO₂ on the main properties of white Portland cement: heat release during hydration, phase composition and microstructural features of cement stone, pressure strength and self-cleaning ability. PCM was synthesized by a sol-gel method based on tetrabutoxytitanium and finely dispersed diatomite powder and 15% cement was added instead. The presence of PCM in the cement system provided the reduction of the induction period of cement hydration, consolidation of the microstructure of the cement stone with the products of the pozzolanic reaction, the ability to photocatalytic self-cleaning of the cement stone surface.
