As it is well-known, the activation of latent slag in blended cement is implemented by calcium hydroxide (CH, Ca(OH)2) which is the main cause maintaining the high pH value of pore solution. The activation happens as the break of glass layer of slag particles. However, how does the break take place in detail? Researchers have […]

The latent hydraulic property of slag means no hydration products could be observed when slag is solely placed in contact with water, though surface analysis using X-ray photoelectron spectrometry showed that the surface of slag was modified as soon as it came into contact with water making a protective film lacking Ca2+ that prevent further […]
