This paper presents some recent research on the microstructural development during alkaline activation of slag pastes. Pastes of different slags activated with a range of activators have been prepared and some preliminary results from the study of the pastes activated with sodium hydroxide and water

โฆ Synopsis
This paper examines the early hydration of alkali-slag cements activated by different sodium compounds, such as NaOH, Na&O,, Na$iO,.SH,O, Na,PO.,, N%HPO, and NaF, at 25 and 50ยฐC. A conduction calorimeter was used to monitor hydration kinetics. It was found that the initial pH of activator solution has an important role in dissolving the slag and in promoting the early formation of some hydration products. However, further hydration of alkali-slag cements is dominated by the reaction of the anion or anion group of activator and the Ca" dissolved from slag rather than the initial pH of the activator solution. Finally, three models were proposed to describe the early hydration of alkali-slag cements based on heat evolution measurements.

Microwave technique were used to investigate the early hydration of slag cement with different slag percentages, different activators and different amount of activator. It is found that higher slag cement causes a higher dielectric constant E and a shorter induction period. But higher slag cement sa
The mechanism and kinetics of hydration of alkali-activated slag (AAS) have been studied. Heat of hydration, non-evaporable water content and hydration degree of AAS were examined. Similar to ordinary Portland cement (OPC), the hydration process of AAS could be classified into five stages: initial,
Gasifier slag (GS) is intermediate in chemical composition between granulated blast furnace slag (BFS) and pulverised fuel ash (PFA). A conduction calorimetric study has been made of three GS, blended with aft ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and a sulphate-resisting Portland cement (SRPC). These re
The early stages of cement hydration were investlgated by proton spinspin relaxation time (T c) measurements because these experiments can be performed much faster (in several seconds) than the characterlstlc time for a change in hydration evolution. In addition, comparing the free induction decays
