文摘

As a plasticizer and retarder, calcium lignosulfonate (CL) frequently leads to quick set of Portland cement containing anhydrite. For exploring the cause of this problem, the hydration characteristics of the tricalcium aluminate-anhydrite system in the saturated calcium hydroxide solution with and without CL were researched from two aspects: the compositions of liquid phases and the formations of hydration products. Results show that the CL can promote the formation of ettringite, which induces a significant decrease in sulfate ion concentration at the initial time of hydration. The size of ettringite crystals becomes large in the presence of CL, which seems to be related to a decrease in calcium sulfate saturation ratio. It can be deduced that the quick set in the presence of CL is mainly caused by the accelerated reaction between the tricalcium aluminate and the anhydrite at the initial time of hydration.
