Authors: Zhijun Tan, Geert De Schutter, Guang Ye, Yun Gao, Lieven Machiels Abstract: This paper investigates the influence of slag particle size on its hydration speed at particle level in the early age. Slags were separated with sieves into groups of different size fractions, considering a wide range of sizes. The chemical compositions of each […]
Tag: Hydration degree
These following conclusions are summarized from the work of Kocaba’s PhD thesis. alite: no influence is shown on the consumption of alite measured by XRD. belite: the substitution of cement by both slags seems to result in a delay in the hydration of belite in the first days. aluminate phase: there is a filler effect […]
1 Procedure of EDTA A typical chemical reaction of a slag could be like the following [NIST, D.P Bentz], C7.88S7.39M3A + 2.6CH + bH → 7.39C1.42SHmA0.046 + 0.66M4.6AHd C=CaO, S=SiO2, M=MgO, A=Al2 O3, CH=Ca(OH)2, H=H2O. The method EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) has been described by Erntroy [Erntry, 1987]. The following is a short description of the method. […]
