纳米氧化铝对硅酸盐水泥浆体流变、水化和硬化强度的影响

本文研究了纳米氧化铝(NA)对硅酸盐水泥浆体的早期流变性、中期水化特性和后期力学性能的影响,并且分析了三个阶段之间参数的相关性。结果表明,NA的掺入增大了新拌水泥浆体的屈服应力和塑性黏度,且当NA掺量范围为3%~5%时,屈服应力和塑性黏度最大增幅均超过110%。在水泥浆体中掺入NA明显改变了硅酸盐水泥早期的水化放热速率和放热量,并且使得浆体在各龄期的抗压强度和抗折强度有所增长。对于该复合胶凝体系,早期的水化放热量与流变参数呈指数增长的变化趋势,而放热峰值速率与抗压强度则存在近似线性的函数关系。     

Physicochemical characteristics of acrylic-acid polymer-impregnated cement pastes

Various Portland cement pastes were made using water cement ratios of 0·20, 0·25, 0·35 or 0·40 and then cured for 1, 3, 7, 28, 90 or 180 days. These pastes were impregnated with acrylic acid monomer under vacuum and the monomer-impregnated samples were then treated at two different temperatures, 40 or 60°C, for the polymerization process, using benzoyl peroxide as initiator. Several physicochemical studies were carried out on each cement paste; these studies include compressive strength tests, bulk density, compressive strength versus gel/space ratio relationships, polymer load, X-ray diffraction analysis and differential thermal analysis. Results have indicated that compressive strength improvement in acrylic acid-polymer impregnated cement pastes is mainly dependent on initial water/cement ratio, curing time and gel/space ratio. The results of X-ray diffraction analysis and differential thermal analysis indicated that the intrusion of polymer into the cement paste matrix does not affect the phase composition of the Portland cement hydration products.     

Influence of spraying on the early hydration of accelerated cement pastes

In practice, most of the studies about the interaction between cement and accelerators is performed with hand-mixed pastes. However, in many applications mixing occurs through spraying, which may affect accelerators reactivity and the microstructure of the hardened paste. The objective of this study is to analyze how the mixing process influences the early hydration of accelerated cement pastes. Isothermal calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetry and SEM imaging were performed on cement pastes produced by hand-mixing and by spraying, using equivalent doses of an alkali-free and an alkaline accelerator and two types of cement. Results showed a great influence of the spraying process on the reactivity of accelerators and on the morphology of the precipitated hydrates. Variations in hydration kinetics caused by the mixing method are explained and the results obtained might have a significant repercussion on how future research on the behavior of accelerated mixes will be performed.     

锂渣和钢渣对水泥浆体力学性能与微观结构的影响

利用锂渣粉和钢渣粉替代部分P·O 42.5水泥制备了复合水泥净浆试样。通过SEM、XRD、FT-IR等测试方法分析了二者对试样的影响及作用机制。结果表明,锂渣替代部分水泥会降低浆体的流动性,钢渣替代部分水泥有利于提高浆体流动性。锂渣具有促凝效果,而钢渣在浆体中可发挥缓凝作用。锂渣、钢渣复合掺入时可调控浆体的流动性和凝结时间。锂渣对浆体力学性能的提高相比钢渣具有更明显的优势,当水胶比为0.4时,掺入20%(质量分数)锂渣的试样28 d抗压强度可达62.3 MPa,相比空白样可提高23%左右。SEM结果显示掺20%锂渣可使试样28 d微观结构更致密。XRD结果显示试样的水化产物主要为C-S-H凝胶和Ca(OH)₂。FT-IR结果显示Si—O键峰位发生了一定的红移,H—O—H键发生了蓝移。     

Novel Use of Kaolin Wastes in Blended Cements

This paper describes the influence of different thermally activated clay wastes (ACW) on the hydration phases in cement pastes containing two percentages of addition (10% and 20%). Results show that the main products obtained during hydration of cement pastes containing ACW were portlandite, calcium aluminate hydrates, calcium silicate hydrates, and hydrotalcite-type compounds. Portlandite formation decreases when addition percentage is 20%, contrary to tetracalcium aluminate hydrate, which increases in similar conditions. The ACW that showed the most portlandite consumption was ACW1 (700°C, 2 h) according to thermogravimetric data.     

Modelling elasticity of a hydrating cement paste

Concrete is a complex multi-scale composite involving multi-physics processes. As it is the only evolving component of concrete, the cement paste has a major influence on the mechanical properties of concrete at early age. This paper focuses on the increase of the elastic properties of a cement paste during its hydration. The homogenization theory for disordered media is used in order to estimate the evolution of the effective elastic moduli of the hydrating paste. The morphological model refers to two types of C-S-H (calcium silicate hydrates, main hydration products of Portland cements) distinguished by many authors: inner products or high density C-S-H build up layers surrounding the anhydrous particles, while the outer products or low density C-S-H play the role of a porous matrix.The simulations of the effective Young's modulus at late age during hydration and at the end of hydration prove to be in excellent agreement with the experimental results available in the literature.     

An investigation of the effect of organic solvent on the rheological properties and hydration of cement paste

The influence of ethyl-alcohol and 1–4 dioxane on the rheological properties and hydration of portland cement paste have been studied. The rheological properties are correlated to the cement/liquid interface characteristics. The relationship between viscosity and zeta-potential is discussed. Analyses of the liquid phase composition and conduction calorimetric measurements have been made to quantify the retardation effect of organic solvent on the cement hydration. Ethyl-alcohol has been found to have a greater retardation effect than 1–4 dioxane.     

磷渣对水泥浆体水化性能和孔结构的影响

通过对水泥浆体凝结性能、水化放热、力学性能和孔结构的测定,以及扫描电镜分析和差热-热重分析,研究了不同掺量磷渣对水泥浆体水化性能和微观结构的影响.结果表明:随着磷渣掺量的增加,浆体的凝结时间延长,水化热减少,早期抗压强度下降.但掺磷渣水泥浆体的后期抗压强度已接近或超过了纯水泥浆体的,磷渣掺量的增加对水泥浆体的后期抗压强度影响不显著.浆体中的Ca(OH)2量随龄期的延长而增加并随磷渣掺量的增加而降低.磷渣的活性效应和填充效应的发挥有效地改善了浆体水化后期的微观结构和孔结构,从而使浆体的力学性能有所提高.     

Electrical conductivity and rheological properties of ordinary Portland cement-silica fume and calcium hydroxide-silica fume pastes

Two groups of solids mixtures were prepared: (i) the first group includes four mixes having different ordinary Portland cement/silica fume (OPC/SF) weight ratios and (ii) the second group consists of four blends having different Ca(OH)₂/SF molar ratios. Electrical conductivity measurements were carried out on the pastes of the first group mixes using two initial water-to-solid (W/S) ratios of 0.55 and 0.70 by weight; while the W/S ratios used for the second group mixes were 1.00 and 1.20 by weight. The measurements were done at 25 and 45 °C for each paste during setting and hardening processes after gauging with deionized water. Rheological properties were studied at room temperature for all mixes using various W/S ratios. The results obtained indicate clearly the effect of SF and W/S ratio on the rheological properties and electrical conductivity of all pastes under investigation. The relation between the electrical conductivity and rheological properties for different mixes were discussed based on the chemical nature and physical state of the hydration products formed at early ages of hydration.     

Characterization of the hydration state of Portland cement pastes

In a hardened Portland cement paste an important part of aluminate hydrates (mainly the sulfoaluminates) have physico-chemical properties and formation kinetics very much different from those of the remainder of the paste. Consequently a unique and global hydration degree cannot satisfactorily characterize the hydration state. The error induced by the reference to different global hydration degrees is illustrated on a series of figures. The importance, often neglected, of the dehydration o of some hydrates when extracting evaporable water is pointed out as well. The hydration state must be characterized by at least two partial hydration degrees me and ms. For moist cured pastes older than a few days, me = 1 and a formula is proposed to calculate ms from the measured non evaporable water.     

Characterization and Utilization of Polystyrene and Polyacrylamide-Graft-Methoxypolyethylene as Cement Admixtures

A series of polystyrene-g-methoxypolyoxyethylene (PS-g-MPOE) was prepared by solution polymerization technique using benzoyl peroxide as an initiator and another series of polyacrylamide-g-methoxypolyoxyethylene (PAM-g-MPOE) was prepared by using potassium persulfate initiator. The prepared grafted copolymers were characterized by infrared (IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and rheological properties. The results illustrated that the solution of PS-g-MPOE in water behaved as a Newtonian fluid, but the solution of PAM-g-MPOE as pseudoplastic at higher acrylamide ratios. The TGA analysis showed that the thermal stability of PAM-g-MPOE was highest. Some of these polymers were evaluated as cement admixtures. The water of consistency and setting time of the cement pastes premixed with the polymers decreased sharply than those of the blank, i.e., these polymer admixtures can act as superplastisizers and at the same time as accelerators. The combined water and free lime contents as well as compressive strength of the cement pastes premixed with PS-g-MPOE or PAM-g-MPOE were slightly lower than the blank at the early ages up to 7 d, and then became higher during the later hydration ages. Their total porosities are higher during the early ages and lower during the later ages of hydration. The SEM images confirmed that the addition of the organic polymer solutions to the cement powder does not affect the chemical composition of the normal hydration products, but only affects the physical state, shape or morphology and size of crystals of the formed hydrates.     

Influence of time addition of superplasticizers on the rheological properties of fresh cement pastes

It is well known that the fluidity and the fluidity loss of fresh cement pastes are affected by the kind and the time of addition of organic admixtures. The influence of the time addition of two chemical admixtures, namely, melamine formaldehyde sulfonate (MFS) and naphthalene formaldehyde sulfonate (NFS), on the rheological properties of ordinary Portland and sulfate-resisting cement pastes through the first 120 min of hydration was investigated. The admixture addition was delayed by 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 min. Shear stress and apparent viscosity of the cement pastes were determined at different shear rates (3-146 s⁻¹) and hydration times of 30, 60, 90, and 120 min. The concentration of Ca²⁺ and the combined water content of the cement pastes were determined after 120 min. Yield stress and plastic viscosity values were also determined by using the Bingham model. The results show that an increase in the addition time of the admixture reduces the shear stress, the yield stress, and the plastic viscosity of the cement pastes at the early ages (15 min) as well as at later early ages (120 min). The optimum delaying time of admixture addition is found to be 10-15 min. This time does not depend on the cement and superplasticizer type.     

硅微粉对水泥浆体流变性能的影响

运用水化热测定仪、流变仪、以及Dinger-Funk紧密堆积等方法,研究了硅微粉掺入水泥中对复合浆体的流变性能的影响,比较了不同硅微粉掺量对复合浆体的早期水化放热、紧密堆积程度、屈服应力和塑性粘度的作用.结果显示:硅微粉取代水泥后,降低浆体水化热放热量,提高了体系紧密堆积程度;Bingham流体仍适用于硅微粉-水泥复合浆体,取代5%、10%、15%水泥的复合浆体,屈服应力和塑性粘度在0、60 min时都小于纯水泥浆体,并且取代10%水泥的复合浆体,其屈服应力和塑性粘度在0、60 min时都最小,流变性能最好.     

在模拟井下环境中堵剂的结构形成与失效机理

采用XRD，TG和SEM－EDS等研究了在模拟油井深处温度，压力条件下养护的G级油井水泥和YLD型堵漏剂浆体的水化产物和显微结构。在高温高压动态养护条件下，硬化水泥浆体内部存在大量CSH凝胶和Ca(OH2)晶体，而堵漏剂浆体的主要水化产物是CSH凝胶。在钢管－浆体界面，虽然水化程度更高，但CSH凝胶和Ca(OH)2晶体的量却很少；主要的水化产物是钙矾石和水化钙黄长石。界面处的显微结构也比浆体内部疏松。这表明在钢管－浆体界面处存在严重的溶蚀现象，导致水泥浆体很快损失胶凝性，这可能是水泥基堵剂失效的主要原因。堵漏剂浆体的溶蚀速率小于油井水泥浆体，其溶蚀表面可发生再水化过程，新生成的CSH凝胶具有修补受损界面的“自愈”作用，使堵漏剂浆体与钢管的粘结作用得以维持，从而延长堵漏剂的有效使用期。     

铁铝酸钙浆体的硬化

研究了掺有少量异组份的铁相浆体的硬化、强度及掺加CH后浆体结构和性能的变化。结果表明,铁相浆体强度主要依赖于胶体-晶体胶结结构;在高碱度硅酸盐水泥浆体中;铁相胶凝性差;在低碱度水泥浆体中,铁相对强度贡献较大。     

The influence of water removal techniques on the composition and microstructure of hardened cement pastes

The removal of water from hardened cement paste for analysis or to arrest ongoing hydration has been reported to affect the composition of hydrated phases and microstructure. The effect that arresting the hydration of hardened cement paste by replacing the pore water with acetone before drying, and by removing the water by freeze, vacuum and oven drying has on the hardened cement paste has been investigated. Two pastes were studied, a cemented iron hydroxide floc where a high proportion of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) had been replaced by pulverised fuel ash, and a pure hydrated OPC. The results showed that none of the water removal techniques caused any major deterioration in the composition and microstructure of the hardened cement pastes studied, but the pores appeared better preserved after arresting hydration using acetone quenching. Freeze drying appeared to cause more cracking of the microstructure than the other water removal techniques.     

Application of Powers’ model to modern portland and portland limestone cement pastes

Powers’ model is a simple approach for estimating the relative volumes of hydration products, porosity, and chemical shrinkage present in portland cement paste as a function of its starting water‐to‐cement ratio (w/c) and current degree of hydration. It forms an important link between cement composition, microstructure, and performance, necessary for modeling cement‐based systems. Previous researchers have adapted Powers’ model for inert fillers to illustrate their effects on the hydration, porosity, and chemical shrinkage of blended cements; however, it is well‐documented that limestone is not, in fact, an inert filler, but rather participates in cement hydration through both chemical and physical processes. This research experimentally investigates the applicability of Powers’ model to modern portland cements containing up to 15% by mass finely divided limestone. The results demonstrate that the modified Powers’ model is insufficient for predicting the influence of finely divided limestone additions on the chemical shrinkage of both ordinary portland cement pastes and portland limestone cement pastes. Possible explanations for the discrepancy are discussed and a plausible source is proposed.     

Influence of high mixing intensity on rheology,hydration, and microstructure of fresh state cement paste

From both the fundamental and applied points of view, there is a growing interest in characterizing the rheological properties of concentrated suspensions, such as cement paste. When a cement paste is sheared, its intrinsic network structure will respond to the shear induced stresses. The influence of mixing intensity on the rheological properties of fresh state cement paste is studied. The results showed that contrary to what is popularly believed, when subjected to a high mixing intensity, the rheological properties of cement paste can increase once a certain threshold mixing intensity is achieved. This increase in rheological properties was associated with changes in the chemical nature and physical nature of the cement pastes.
