Alkali activated slag cement and concrete are high strength, rapid hardening, low heat of hydration, good durability and so on. Whereas, too high viscosity and bad workability of the fresh mixture is the crux of the matter to embarrass application of alkali-activated slag cement and concrete. Development of special superplasticizer for alkali activated slag cement and concrete is a worth exploring way to solve the problem, and the study on the surface tension of simulated solutions of alkali activated slag cement system is one of the basic researches about the special superplasticizer. In this paper, the surface tension of surfactant-alkali-water was studied by Wilhelmy method. The results showed, first, water-glass had the best efficacity of several alkali activators, when the modulus of water-glass was 1.5 and dosage of water-glass by Na2O was 8%, the surface tension was reduced by 33 mN/m and reduced to 39.9mN/m; second, [CH3(CH2)9]2N(CH3)2Cl had the best efficacity of several surfactants, when the concentration of [CH3(CH2)9]2N(CH3)2Cl was 50g/L, the surface tension was reduced by 35.3 mN/m and reduced to 32.5 mN/m; finally, the effect of surfactant and alkali together on the surface tension of water was complex, surfactants had hardly effective in water glass.

The paper is devoted to mitigation of steel reinforcement corrosion in alkali-activated slag cement (further, AASC) concretes, based on soluble sodium silicates (further, SSS’s), obtained from high consistensy concrete mixes. Enhancement of AASC fine concretes crack resistance due to modification by complex shrinkage-reducing additives (further, SRA’s) based on surfactants and trisodium phosphate Na3PO .12H2O (further, TSP) was proposed for mitigation of steel reinforcement corrosion. SSS’s were presented by sodium metasilicate (silica modulus 1.0, dry state) and water glass (silica modulus 2.9, density 1400 kg/m3). In case of sodium metasilicate the application of SRA composition “ordinary portland cement clinker – TSP – sodium lignosulphonate – sodium gluconate” provides enhancement of crack resistance starting from early age structure formation with restriction of drying shrinkage from 0,984 to 0,713 mm/m after 80 d. The effect is caused by reduction of water and by higher volume of crystalline hydrates. In turn, SRA presented by compositions “TSP – glycerol” and “TSP – glycerol – polyacrylamide” provide enhancement of AASC fine concretes fracture toughness during late structure formation with increasing ratio of tensile strength in bending to compressive strength up to 37 – 49 % if compare with the reference AASC when water glass is used.

In this paper, water glass was chosen as activator to prepare Alkali-activated slag(AAS) cement. Effects of modulus and dosage of water glass, and admixture (fly ash, slag and silica fume) on the strength of AAS cement was investigated. It was found that the modulus of water glass had great effect on the strength of AAS cement when the mixing amount of water glass was less than 12%. With the incorporation of fly ash or slag, the strength of AAS cement decreased, however the incorporation of silica fume could promote the flexural and compressive strength of AAS cement slightly.

In this work, the adsorption of naphthalene-based water reducer (FDN) on slag ground with or without the composite retarder YP-3 and PN (YP) in alkali-activated slag cement (AASC) activated by water glass (WG) has been studied in detail. The results show that the effect of the adsorption of water reducer on AASC depends directly on the dosage of the water reducer and on the composite retarder used. For example, mixed slag particles adsorb thrice as much water reducer FDN than pure slag particles at 1% mass of the slag, and the absolute value increment of the zeta potential of the AASC suspension containing the composite retarder is 8.61 mV, compared with 1.99 mV in the system without the composite retarder. Moreover, the AASC pastes activated by WG containing the retarder YP show better rheological properties and lower fluidity loss over time.

Alkali activated slag cement was a new green cementing material with many performances. Whereas, high viscosity and bad workability of the fresh mixture were the matters to embarrass its application. For exploring the special superplasticizer, the adsorption characteristics of surfactant on slag was studied, by UV Vis Absorption Spectrum Method. The results showed, first, the adsorbed amount of cationic surfactant [CH3(CH2)11N(CH3)3]Cl was the highest value among the five surfactants, 12.8 mg/g. Second, the effect of alkali on the adsorbed amount of surfactant was complex. Cationic surfactant had cooperativity with alkali. But, adding water glass, the adsorbed amounts of the surfactants on slag were negative, because it was both colloid property and alkali solution property. Finally, the retarder of YP-3 made the adsorbed amount of ionic surfactant to increase, due to YP-3 contracted electric double layer in the surface of slag.

Through test on influence of water reducer agent YC on properties of alkali activated slag cement mortar, it is shown that water reducer agent YC has favorable plasticizing effect on alkali activated slag cement. When the alkali component is NaOH, the water reducer agent YC gives a water reduction rate of 22.0% to the alkali activated slag cement mortar and the flow ability loss with time is small. The water reducer agent can be adsorbed on the surface of slag and enhance theξpotential of the alkali activated slag cement system.

Compressive strength and AC impedance of mortar made with water-glass-activated slag were investigated as a dependence of modulus (0.5-2.0) and dosage (2-6%) of the water-glass. Results shown that when the dosage of water glass is 2- 4 %, the modulus of the water glass has a little effect on the compressive strength. In the case of the dosage of water glass is beyond 4 %, when modulus of the water glass change from 0.5-1.0, the compressive strength obviously increases with increase of modulus of water glass and when modulus of the water glass change from 1.0-2.0, the modulus of the water glass has a little effect on the compressive strength. The strength increases with increase of the dosage from 2 to 6%. In the case same dosage and modulus, there is a rather good power correlation between the bulk resistance and the activated age. With increase of the dosage, the bulk resistance significantly decreases when the dosage is below 4%. The decreasing degree is small when the dosage is beyond 4%. The decreasing degree derived from the dosage increases with the activated age. The effect of the modulus on the bulk resistance depends on range of the dosage. However, it can be regarded that when the dosage is 4% and 6%, the modulus has small effect on the bulk resistance in the case of all the dosages.

The set of alkali-activated slag cement (AASC) and concrete and the measures for set-retarding were reviewed. Due to the fast set of high and super high strength alkali-activated slag cement and concrete, an inorganic compound set retarder YP-3 was developed. The effect of the retarder on setting time and strength as well as heat evolution of AASC were tested, and the mechanism of the retarder was analysed. Results show that the retarder can regulate the initial set of high strength AASC in the range of 29hrs with little negative effect on its strength development. The retarder could react with silicate ions from liquid to rapidly form a compact film in early age of hydration of AASC, the film covered the surface of slag and obstructed R+ and OH- in contact with slag particle directly. Consequently the set of AAC was delayed.

The hydration process of alkali-activated slag cement, especially at early-age, was studied by FT-IR, compared with that of Portland cement. The results show that during the hydration of alkali activated slag cement, two processes have taken place, the dissolution of Al3+ from the slag and then the recombination of Al3+ ions with the silicate anions. The former associated with the break of the glass network of slag and the later with the re-polymerization of the silicate and aluminosilicate anions. The rate of break of the glass network increases with the dosage of water glass, which completed in 24 h when the dosage of the water glass solution equivalent to Na2O exceeds 6% of the slag powder. It is confirmed by the IR study that Ca(OH)2 is absent in the hardened alkali activated slag cement paste.
