Cement hydration
The reactions, however, are not independent of each other because of the composite nature of the cement particle and proximity of the phases. Fig. 1—Schematic of cement-hydration reactions (courtesy of Halliburton). In all, five distinct stages have been identified: Stage 1: Pre-induction. Stage 2: "Dormant" (induction) period.

Dilute it well, and be sure to wet the concrete before you apply it. Scrubbing would be helpful, and you should let it dry afterward. A more powerful option used only for major discoloration is diammonium citrate. Diammonium Citrate is a salt compound used to buff. When placed on your concrete, leave it for 15 minutes.

Impact of chemical admixtures on cement hydration
Many chemical admixtures are known to retard cement hydration. This is an intentional effect of retarders. However, for many other admixtures such as superplasticizers, it is mostly an undesired side effect that becomes more and more problematic in modern concrete with reduced clinker content. In this chapter, the general …
Research on Flocculation of Cement Particles in Water
Workability of fresh concrete is required in the process of placing concrete, especially for high-rises[1]. Some of the construction requires self-compacting placement[2]. The factors influencing workability are characters of cement, water content, sand percentage, chemical admixtures[3][4] and so on. Fresh cement paste is cohesive material

concrete proportions can be determined by trial batches (ACI 301 and 211.1). Trial batches should be made at tempera-tures anticipated in the work and mixed following one of the procedures described in 4.10. The concrete supplier is generally responsible for determining concrete propor-tions to produce the required quality of concrete unless

What are the Products of Cement Hydration? [PDF]
Major Products of Hydration. 1. Calcium Silicate Hydrate. As soon as water is added to cement particles, C 3 S and C 2 S react with water to form calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) and calcium hydroxide (Ca (OH) 2 ). The chemical reaction is as shown below: The product C-S-H is also known as Tobermorite gel.

Another interesting result was the difference in morphologies of C-S-H formed in DI water and NaCl solution. Based on the SEM and STEM observations, a schematic illustration is shown in Fig. 13. The C-S-H products formed in DI water were long and thick fibres, whereas the number of nuclei was relatively fewer than that in NaCl solution.
Monitoring Early Hydration of Cement by Ex Situ and In Situ …
The ex situ freeze-dry sample preparation involves quenching of hydrated cement with liquid nitrogen, followed by water removal in a vacuum. The detailed procedure and DR-FTIR measurements employed have been described elsewhere. 8, 9 For the in situ ATR measurements, approximately 2 g of paste were placed on the diamond crystal of …
