Portland cement and sodium silicate are widely used as the main components of the injection, which are used to prevent flow and improve ground condition. The main problem of the injection material is the leaching of the sodium hydroxite and silicate due to the limited reaction with the cement. This paper studies the effect of cement hydration retarder on the compressive strength of the sodium silicate - cement gel. A series of tests, including digital-type testing machine, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope are performed. Results clearly demonstrate that the sodium tripolyphosphate, which is the cement hydration retarder in the test, significantly improves the initial strength of the homogel.

The purpose of this study is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the cement industry and to collect carbon dioxide generated in industrial facilities such as cement factories and thermal power plants, store and utilize it, and convert high-value-added resources. While conventional Ordinary Portland Cement is characterized by hardening through hydration reactions, basic research is underway to develop cement that reacts with carbon dioxide and converts it into carbonate mineralization.

산업부산자원으로부터 유입되는 중금속이 시멘트 수화반응에 미치는 영향에 대하여 연구하였다. 출발물질은 순수시약을 사용하여 $C_3$S와 $C_2$S 조성으로 배합하고 여기에 Zn, Cu, Cr의 중금속 산화물을 1000ppm, 2000ppm, 3000ppm 첨가하여 150$0^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 소결하여 중금속의 고용분배, 결정구조, 용출상태 그리고 수화열을 관찰하였다. 중금속중 Zn는 $C_3$S와 간극질에 집중 고용되고 Cu는 간극물질에 집중 고용되며 Cr은 $C_3$S와 $C_2$S에 집중 고용되었다. 광학현미경 및 XRD 관찰결과 중금속 함량별로 $C_3$S와 $C_2$S의 결정상에는 큰 영향이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 7일간 수화시 Zn는 40~50%, Cu와 Cr은 전량 용출되었다. Conduction calorimeter 분석결과 중금속 함량별 변화에도 $C_3$S와 $C_2$S 수화열에는 차이가 없었다.

This study was performed to get information of self-healing mechanism in cement system and the influence of waterproofing admixtures for concrete on self-healing property. For testing, cement paste specimens cured for 7, 14 and 28 days were prepared and crushed into plate-shape pieces. Screened specimens with thickness not more than 1mm were covered with wet rags and cured in a plastic container for 7 and 28 days. After stopping hydration process of the specimens by treatment with acetone, the surfaces of specimens have been contacted with wet rags were analyzed by XRD, DSC, SEM and EDX. The analysis results showed that cement paste has self-healing property and this property is mainly affected by water. Self-healing in cement system is more effective and faster at an early stage of hydration as there is enough content of unreacted cement to make an additional hydration in this period. The results of this study also showed that waterproofing admixtures for concrete have a considerable effect on self-healing of cement pastes; i.e., they improved self-healing effect of cement and, especially, the specimen using admixture C has shown a lot of needle-like or fibrous hydration products which are estimated as ettringite. It is supposed that these ettringite products are effective to enhance self-healing in cement system.

Most of ready-mixed concrete plants have the problem of construction waste sludge, which pollutes environment and causes economic loss due to the discard and increasing the cost of concrete. Thus, a recycling of the cement sludge has been strongly desired as one of their solution. This research is to the study on the recycling of the cement sludge, especially the study on the hydration control by the sodium gluconate as a set-retarder. The set-retarder can delay the hydration of the cement included in the sludge water, so that the sludge water can be substituted with some of new cement without the property of the cement. And it invests the effect of the sodium gluconate to the hydration of the cement in suspension. The degree of hydration of cement may be controlled by adding the sodium gliconate. The hydration delay time is observed that depends on the concentration of residual sodium gloconate, not how long the cement has been hydrated before the addition of the sodium gluconate.

Of construction materials, cement and steel are the representative material that carbon dioxide. to reduce carbon emissions in the use of these materials The purpose of this study is low heat type blended cement, which is manufactured using a amount of cement than ordinary low heat blended cement. Low heat blended cement, mixing ratio of 10%, was investigated hydration properties and adiabatic temperature of concrete. The study in order to activate the reaction mineral admixture, a separate source of CaO and $SO_3$ areneeded. gypsum and lime, it expected amount of cement, low-carbon low-heat blended cement could reduce the hydration heat concrete than currentlyused low heat blended cement.

To research effects of various chemical superplasticizers(Lignosulfonic acid, Naphthalene sulfonated formaldehyde condensate, melamine sulfonated formaldehyde condensate, and Polycarboxylate) on the hydration of cement, experiments involving XRD, SEM, and DSC have been analysed with cement paste specimens. Regardless of types and dosages of superplasticizers, hydration reaction of specimen applied superplasticizer was delayed to 3 day, but then it showed similarity to plain which don't add superplasticizer. Moreover, the hydrating rate of cement paste was retarded as dosage of superplasticizer was increased. Also, kinetics related with hydrate of cement paste was slow in order of lignosulfonic acid, polycarboxylate, melamine and naphthalene sulfonated formaldehyde condensate. Nevertheless, when all kinds of chemical admixtures were used, morphologies of these hydrates were denser and more uniform than those of plain.

In this study, hydration properties of ordinary Portland cement were examined, shown from a limestone and blast furnace slag alone or their mixture up to 10% as a minor mineral additives. As of setting time, it was identified that final setting became faster as the amount of limestone mixture increased, which showed limestone accelerated early hydration faster than blast furnace slag. This is because limestone did accelerate the hydration of alite. At the age of 3 days, limestone 5%-blast furnace slag 5% mixture had the highest compressive strength of mortar. It is because hydration acceleration of alite by limestone, and $Ca(OH)_2$ that was additionally formed by hydration acceleration of alite reacted with blast furnace slag, and as a result, additionally created C-S-H hydrate. Regarding the hydration properties by the age of 7 and 28 days, limestone 3%-blast furnace slag 7% of composited mixture showed the largest compressive strength, and in comparison with the 3 days in curing age. This period is when hydration reaction of blast furnace slag is active and the amount of hydrate depends on the amount of blast furnace slag mixture more than that of the limestone mixture. And in order to vitalize hydration reaction of blast furnace slag the amount of $Ca(OH)_2$ created has to increase, and thus, a small amount of limestone is necessary that can accelerate the hydration of alite. Therefore, after the age of 7 days, the fact that there were a large amount of blast furnace slag mixture and small amount of limestone mixture was effective to the strength development of ordinary Portland cement.
