...Qin Lin; Zhao Xu; Hongya Yue; Jiandong Wu; Run Xu; Gongfeng Xin; Xin Ruan; Tao Yang Knowledge gaps on the reaction kinetics of alkali-activated slag/fly ash ( FA ) binders need to be clarified to optimise the formulation design and gain approval for practical field application. The effects of slag...

... analysis with Portland cement ( PC ) mortar. The setting times, compressive strengths and autogenous shrinkage of mortars were measured, and the hydration kinetics, phase assemblage and microstructural evolution were characterised. Key findings revealed distinct responses between the two systems...

.... The enforced carbonation is a rapid process at ambient temperature, which is further accelerated at elevated temperatures. Moreover, the extent of the reaction is increased when the temperature rises. The carbonation reaction is divided into two kinetic stages. During the first stage, the carbonation kinetics...

... the heat flow and kinetic parameters were determined by the deconvolution of microcalorimetric signals at 25, 35 and 45°C. The studied factors were found to have a strong influence on the dissolution of ash rich in aluminium units, on the diffusion–nucleation processes and its growth, both initial...

..., capillary flow and sorption-based mechanisms, which generate various drying models. Taking into account material types and water to cement ratios, the water removal kinetics and status of hardened cement pastes and mortars were investigated by oven drying at 60°C. Diffusion- and sorption-based drying...

...Yu Zhang; Xuerun Li; Xiaodong Shen The influence of iron oxide (Fe₂O₃) on the formation and decomposition kinetics of calcium sulfoaluminate (C₄A₃$) formed from tricalcium aluminate and calcium sulfate was investigated by both isothermal...
