1. Introduction. Cement and mineral addition particle surfaces obtain a surface charge when dispersed in an aqueous medium. Owing to electrostatic forces, ions in the liquid phase of the suspension are attracted by the charged surfaces thus forming the electric double layer (EDL) which balances the charge of the particle surfaces.

HPMC-based cement slurries produce high viscosity and have better suspending properties. HPMC polymer has the property to act as particle suspension agent. In cement slurry, HPMC increases the cohesive force between particles that restrict the sedimentation of cement particles and control the separation of free water.

Josserand et al. [45] and Peng et al. [46] described four possible layers for bleeding, based on different stages of sedimentation of the solid particles in fresh concrete. As viewed from the top ...

When cement particles have a zeta potential close to the isoelectric point (zero charge), the predominant forces are those of van der Waals, leading to a tendency for …

Abstract. Because the water/cement ratio is a prime determinant in slurry properties, one aimed of all mud construction is to keep the annular column of suspension homogeneous until the cement has fixed. Microscopically, there are two extreme situations possible for a cement slurry; either it is dispersed, i.e., of particles are separated by …

The sedimentation caused by overdispersion may be controlled by using antisettling agents that generate a yield stress in the liquid, interstitial fluid, phase. ... As cement particles approach each other, the polymer side chains provide a repulsive steric force keeping the particles dispersed (Fig. 5.20). Plank and Winter [90] ...

The sedimentation behavior of each system can be directly related to these three curves. Sedimentation, (H-h)/H, is defined by Yang and coworkers [13], where H is the initial height of the suspension, and h is the height of the sediment.A stable dispersion will exhibit free sedimentation behavior in which larger particles settle out first.

The flocculation-sedimentation treatment with PGAF successfully removed the SP-stabilized cement particles through the gravitational settling of the formed flocs.

Slippage occurs when cement particles move away from the smooth wall of the shearing surface, causing a decrease in particle concentration, producing a lubrication effect enhancing the flow and resulting in erroneous estimations of the rheological properties. ... Another issue is sedimentation of the particles: When particles settle, …

Segregation on the microlevel, i.e., in the fresh cement paste, is normally called 'bleeding' and describes a separation of water and cement particles. This separation process is caused by a sedimentation of cement particles in the suspension and is accompanied by a compaction of the particle structure [ 1 ]. Figure 1.

It was observed that the carbonation phenomenon occurs peculiarly when the cement slurry presents sedimentation of particles. So, a model for the …

Concrete slurry waste (CSW) is a mixture of fine aggregates, cement hydration products and residual cement particles obtained from the sedimentation pits during the production of concrete. In the present study, CSW with different grinding durations were evaluated; the properties of the CSW and the CSW-cement composition …

Empty the pan and fix it below the sieve. Repeat the whole procedure, at least three times, using a fresh 100 g sample of cement. Totally sieve for 15 minutes and weigh the residue (weight of cement left over the sieve; W₂). Calculate the fineness of cement by formula W₂/W₁×100 % for each time.

In our previous work, some theories on concrete stability and particle sedimentation have been reviewed [8] and a conceptual model for the stability of cement paste was proposed [8,9]. Based on Kynch theory[10] and Richardson-Zakis equation [11] sedimentation is dominated by the solid volume fractionΦ of the suspension.

Density variation (DV) across the cement column due to heavy particles sedimentation is a critical problem that results in disruption in hardened cement properties such as porosity and strength. In this work, two heavy-weight cement systems using Micromax and hematite were evaluated in terms of rheological properties, fluid loss, …

cement paste. T.C. Powers's sedimentation experiments [10] showed that in the watery suspension cement particles usually were flocculated and sedimentated sharply. Helmuth [9] considered that water molecu les were adsorbed on cement particle surface, and every particle was packed within a continuous water film, and once the paste is stirred or

The dosage of Portland cement can affect sedimentation rate in line with the presence of particles and Ca, Fe and Al, and does help improve activated sludge sedimentation. Settling tests in turn revealed differing efficiencies as regards settleability of activated sludge, depending on the type and amount of cement.

The viscosity of the cement grout, affecting the water bleeding and particle sedimentation, is the key parameter in the control of water inrush disasters, and it is significantly affected by the temperatures. In this paper, various polysaccharide-based admixtures were used to thicken the grout at elevated temperatures.
