The results show that the effect of fine steel slag powder on the hydration process of Portland cement is closely related to its chemical composition, mineral phases, fineness, etc. Fine steel slag powder retards the hydration of portland cement at early age. The major reason for this phenomenon is the relative high content of MgO , MnO2, P2O5 in steel slag, and MgO solid solved in C3 S contained in steel slag.展开更多

The res...By means of hydration heat, XRD and SEM, effect of phosphorus and fluorine (P205 and F-) in phosphorous slag on hydration process of tricalcium silicate (C3S) and tricalcium aluminate (C3A) was explored. The results indicated that the early hydration exothermic rate of C3S and C3A was obviously lowered by P205 and F- in phosphorous slag, the second peak occurring time of C3A was delayed by 0.9 h, the exothermal output of C3S was reduced by 25.04% and the time of accelerating stage was postponed by 0.86 h. The early hydration degree of C3S and C3A was also decreased. Due to the influence of P205 and F, more pores and thinner crystals can be observed in the microstructure of hardened paste and the chance of cracks was reduced.展开更多

Employing AC impedance method, we studied the hydration and hardening process of cement paste with fly ash and slag, and analyzed the influence of different hydration age, water-binder ratio and mineral admixture on the impedance parameters. Moreover, we compared the results with those by the conventional porosity testing method and X-ray diffraction method. The results showed that AC impedance could be taken as a new technology in cement and concrete research.展开更多

The experimental results show that the incorporation of nano-TiO2 can obviously promote the setting and hardening process of sulphoaluminate cement, and shorten the interval between the initial and final setting time, the hydration induction period of sulphoaluminate cement is significantly shortened and the acceleration period begins immediately, but the hydration exothermic rate at hydration stationary phase is not obviously impacted. The nano-TiO2 additives have influence on the formation rate and degree of crystallinity, but do not affect the type of hydration process. The structure of hydration products is compact at middle age, but their content and microstructure do not change展开更多

The results show that MKPC sets rapidly with less than 8% of borax, which is unfavorable to the application of MKPC on construction. Adding more than 8%(including 8%) of borax results in a secondary hydration peak for MKPC, in which the process of hydration can be divided into five stages, namely, pre-induction period, induction period, acceleration period, deceleration period and stable period. M/P ratios could not change the multi-step reactive stages but higher M/P ratios could accelerate the hydration. Borax tends to impact the formation of Mg-containing hydrated products.展开更多

Herein, we systematically studied the debromination efficiency and mechanism of para-bromophenol(4-BP) by a recently developed UV/sulfite process. 4-BP underwent rapid degradation with the kinetics accelerated with the increasing sulfite concentration, pH(6.1–10) and temperature, whereas inhibited by dissolved oxygen and organic solvents. The apparent activation energy was estimated to be 27.8 kJ/mol. The degradation mechanism and pathways of 4-BP were explored by employing N2O and nitrate as the electron scavengers and liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry to identify the intermediates. 4-BP degradation proceeded via at least two pathways including direct photolysis and hydrated electron-induced debromination. The contributions of both pathways were distinguished by quantifying the quantum yields of 4-BP via direct photolysis and hydrated electron production in the system. 4-BP could be readily completely debrominated with all the substituted Br released as Br-, and the degradation pathways were also proposed. This study would shed new light on the efficient dehalogenation of brominated aromatics by using the UV/sulfite process.展开更多
