Influence of Supersulfated Cement Composition on Hydration Process

Angulski da Luz, C. / Hooton, R. D.

In recent years, considerable attention has been given to the development of special cements capable of reducing ${CO}_{2}$ emissions as well as energy and limestone consumption. One option is the use of supersulfated cements (SSCs). SSCs are primarily comprised of blast-furnace slag (80%–85%), calcium sulfate (10%–15%), and an alkaline activator, which is often portland cement, though in a relatively small quantity (around 5%). In this paper, the effects of the proportions of SSC (slag, calcium sulfate, and alkali activator contents) were studied for two slags with different chemical compositions, mainly the ${Al}_{2} O_{3}$ content. The results showed the slag characteristics and the alkaline activator content played a very important role in the process of hydration. The SSC made using high-alumina slag exhibited higher compressive strength (55 MPa at 28 days with 88% slag) and the use of higher activator contents decreased the compressive strength, heat release, ettringite formation, and degree of hydration.
