Effect of Phosphates on the Hydration Process of Alkali Activated Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

The study deals with the one of the important feature of alkali activated blast furnace slag which is very rapid initial setting. Therefore, the influence of the retarding agents such as phosphates was tested. It is shown that phosphates decreases the hydration heat evolution and retards the hydration reaction of alkali activated slag effectively. The mechanism of retardation is studied through the microcalorimeter and electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive analyzer (SEM-EDS). The optimal dosage of suitable retarding admixture in the means of mechanical properties has been determined.
