Early structural build-up, setting behavior, reaction kinetics and microstructure of sodium silicate-activated slag mixtures with different retarder chemicals Universiteit Gent
The utilization potential of citric acid, sodium tetraborate decahydrate and sodium triphosphate pentabasic to control fresh state properties of sodium silicate-activated alkali-activated slag cements (AASC) has been studied. The early structural build-up, reaction kinetics, pore solution chemistry, setting behavior, and hardened properties such as microstructure, pore structure, and mechanical properties of AASC with these chemicals were ...
