S. Goni et al., THE INFLUENCE OF NACL ON THE REACTIVITY OF HIGH-ALUMINA CEMENT IN WATER - PORE-SOLUTION AND SOLID-PHASE CHARACTERIZATION, Journal of materials research, 9(6), 1994, pp. 1533-1539
The influence of NaCl (3% of Cl- by weight of cement) on the reactivit
y of High Alumina Cement (HAC) in water has been studied over a period
of one month. The changes in microstructure were monitored by x-ray d
iffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The pore-solution, extrac
ted by the application of high mechanical pressure (500 MPa), was stud
ied for the chemical composition and changes caused by chloride and so
dium ions.
