โฆ Synopsis
This investigation concerns the effect of some ions, contained in seawater, on the hydration of cements containing 7% MgO, pure or with 30% pozzolan (Santorin Earth). Pastes prepared from these two cements were cured in five baths containing seawater, deionized water and aq. solutions of S042-, Mg 2+ and C1-ions respectively for one year. The Mg(OH)~ produced during the hydration of the above cements was determined by DTA-TG, while thehyd~ation phenomena were studied by XRD. It is concluded that the presence of C1-and SO4 z-ions does not affect MgO hydration. Mg 2+ ions increase the Mg(OH)~ content, mostly by their penetration in the pastes. The beneficial effect of the interground pozz-olan is also shown.
