The use of calcined clay and limestone as supplementary cementitious materials, can have a certain influence on the hydration of Portland cement. This paper reviewed the influence of limestone and calcined clay and the mixture of limestone and calcined clay on the hydration of cement. Both limestone and calcined clay accelerate the hydration reaction in the early hydration age and enhance the properties of cement. Limestone reacts with C3A to form carboaluminate, which indirectly stabilized the presence of ettringite, while calcined clay consumed portlandite to form C-(A)-S-H gel, additional hydration products promote the densification of pore structure and increase the mechanical properties. The synergistic effect of calcined clay and limestone stabilize the existence of ettringite and stimulate the further formation of carboaluminate, as well as the C-(A)-S-H gel, contributed to a dense microstructure.

Alkali-activated slag (AAS) is a material which has great potential for use in building industry. The aim of this work was to gain new superior properties by the addition of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). This material can act as a microreinforcement improving mechanical properties of cementitious materials. The effect of 0–1 wt.% addition of CNTs on the mechanical properties, hydration characteristics and microstructure of AAS binder was determined. The addition of CNTs delays the setting of the binder and a partial deterioration of strength parameters was observed.

The hydration heat evolution curves of composite cementitious materials containing copper tailing powder (CT) and graphene oxide (GO) with different contents are measured and analyzed in this paper. The hydration rate and total hydration heat of the composite cementitious materials decrease with the increase of CT dosage, but improve with the increase of CT fineness and GO dosage. The hydration process of the cementitious systems undergoes three periods, namely nucleation and crystal growth (NG), phase boundary reaction (I), and diffusion (D), which can be simulated well using the Krstulovic–Dabic model. The hydration rates of the three controlling processes of the composite cementitious system decrease with the increase of CT content, but improve slightly with the increase of CT fineness. GO enhances the controlling effect of the NG process of the cementitious systems with or without CT, thus promotes the early hydration as a whole.

The red mud (RM) is a solid waste derived from the processing of bauxite ore to produce alumina and it is considered a hazardous waste due to its high pH. This paper describes the use of mud untreated and after calcination at distinct temperatures (450, 650, and 1000°C) attempting to improve its reactivity. The Portland cement was replaced up to 30 wt% red mud, and its addition changed the hydration process, evaluated by calorimetric studies of early hydration and setting time. By comparing with the reference mixture (without red mud), the obtained results confirm the potential of the red mud to be used as pozzolanic additive to cementitious materials. Temperature of hydration was monitored by a quasi-adiabatic calorimeter (Langavant). The hydration temperature increases with RM addition, particularly if calcined in the same interval (450-650°C). In this condition, the hydration process is accelerated.

This work investigated the effect of hydroxyapatite (HA) nanorods on the strength development and hydration of cement. Undispersed HA nanorods (HA-UD) and dispersed HA nanorods (HA-DN) were prepared by atom-efficient neutralization. The strength of mortars modified by HA nanorods was tested, as well as their compatibility with supplementary cementitious material. The hydration of HA-modified cement pastes was characterized via in situ X-ray diffraction, isothermal calorimetry and scanning electron microscopy. As the results suggest, the undispersed HA-DN caused a considerable increase in superplasticizer demand to achieve the same level of flow. Both HA nanorods showed a significant accelerating effect on early hydration, with approximately 100% strength enhancement at 12 h at 2.0% dosage. The effect on early strength of the nanorods is retained in systems with up to 30% fly ash in the binder mass. According to the characterizations, the rate of the hydration reaction in the acceleration period was enhanced by HA nanorods, and C3S consumption was also increased. In all of the testing situations, HA-DN showed superior performance, likely due to improved spatial distribution of the hydroxyapatites. The results suggest that proper dispersion of the nanorods is necessary to optimize its performance.
