The results confirmed that tartaric acid is a powerful retarder for CSAB cement; it showed a stronger retarding effect than citric acid, sodium gluconate, borax, and molasses. A proper tartaric acid dosage (≤ 0.75 %) extended the initial setting time of CSAB cement from 5 min to up to 154 min without compromising long-term strength.

1. Introduction. As an essential component of concrete, different types of chemical admixtures have been widely applied to improve properties. Chemical admixtures enable the manufacture and construction of high performance ready-mix and also precast concretes [1, 2].This paper reviews recent developments and research on …

Nine CSA cement paste specimens were prepared with three different dosage rates of the PCE (0%, 0.1%, and 0.5% dry mass of PCE by mass of cement) and three different contents of citric acid (1%, 2%, and 4% dry mass of CA by mass of cement). These dosage rates were chosen in the range commonly reported in the …

Unlike portland cements, CSA cements can use ordinary citric acid, often at doses of 0.2% to 0.4%. Straight CSA cements such as Rapid Set Cement actually benefit from moderate retardation. The structural silicate crystal growth occurs more slowly, and like old-growth wood, results in better concrete with higher strengths.

Additional factors such as the complexation of silicate (or aluminate) may also be important. Vol. 14, No. 2 193 CONDUCTION CALORIMETRY, ADMIXTURES, CLASSIFICATION, CEMENT HYDRATION Citric acid and catechol, for example, in addition to their ability to complex calcium are also capable of complexing silica.

The setting time of alkali-activated slag (AAS) binders is extremely short, while traditional retarders of Portland cement may be invalid for AAS. To find an effective retarder with a less negative impact on strength, borax (B), sucrose (S), and citric acid (CA) were selected as potential retarders. The setting time of AAS with different …

chosen as 1 and 2 percent; the amounts of citric acid chosen were 0. 05 and 0. 20 per-cent. In all cases percentages are given on the cement weight basis. As a further variable, the additive was either dissolved in the entire mixing water and added to the cement at the start, or the bulk of the water was added at the start and the additive,
