Abstract

Possibilities for enhancing the aluminate reaction were studied in a mix of OPC blended with 7.9 % hemihydrate (HH) or 7.4 % anhydrite (AH) in combination with different triethanolamine (TEA) dosages. Heat flow calorimetry and quantitative X-ray diffraction (XRD) were performed to study the hydration process. Using anhydrite as an additional sulfate carrier allowed a lower TEA dosage compared to hemihydrate systems to enhance the degree of hydration of C3A. High TEA dosages in hemihydrate systems were found to hinder C3S hydration. Nevertheless, it was possible to push the aluminate reaction ahead of the silicate reaction, thereby enhancing the degree of hydration of C3A. Additionally, the degree of hydration of C3S was not strongly affected when anhydrite and a well-balanced TEA dosage were used. The addition of tartaric acid to OPC-anhydrite-TEA systems retarded the subsequent aluminate reaction.
