Strength improvement and micro analysis of limestone-slag cement : role of aluminum sulfate

Limestone slag cement is a green and sustainable building material with huge market potential. However, its shortcoming of low early compressive strength needs to be improved. A method of using aluminum sulfate to improve the early strength of ternary mixed mortar was proposed, and its effect and optimal dosage were tested. Macroscopic properties such as mechanical properties and surface electrical resistivity were measured at different dosages (0%, 1%, 2%, 3%). The microstructure and products of the mixtures were tested in detail, including by scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and X-ray diffraction. The results show aluminum sulfate enhances mechanical properties and significantly increases surface electrical resistivity. The 1% and 2% doses had no adverse effects on the 28-day mechanical properties, while the 3% dose reduced the 28-day strength. Considering the changes in mechanical properties and surface electrical resistivity, 1% aluminum sulfate is the optimal dosage.
