Abstract

Cellulose ethers (CE) are generally used as viscosity modifying admixtures in cement-based materials. However, previous investigations scarcely focus on the effect of CE on the calcium leaching behaviors of host materials. This work studied the calcium leaching behaviors in CE-containing cement pastes. The resistance to the calcium leaching was evaluated by the leaching depth, pH values and compressive strength. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and mercury intrusion porosimetry were implemented to reveal changes in the cement hydrates and microstructural properties to disclose the underlying mechanisms. Results indicate that CE decrease the amounts of CH and C-S-H because of the retardation effect on cement hydration. CE-containing samples exhibit CH crystals with eroded edges and a smaller size, and C-S-H phases with a disordered morphology and smaller dimension, thus increasing the rate of decomposition of CH and C-S-H. CE increases the total porosity by inducing capillary pores and large pores, which results in the decreasing pore connectivity and increasing tortuosity in cement pastes. The degradation of cement pastes during calcium leaching is prominently decided by the content of CH and C-S-H, instead of the initial pore structure. Consequently, CE increase the leaching degree of cement pastes with increasing the CE contents. Additionally, a non-destructive method is proposed to determine the leaching depth for CE-added cement pastes through establishing relationships between the leaching depth and damage factor.
含纤维素醚水泥浆的钙浸出行为研究
纤维素醚(CE)通常用作水泥基材料的粘度调节外加剂。然而,以往的研究很少关注纤维素醚对主体材料钙浸出行为的影响。这项工作研究了含 CE 水泥浆中的钙浸出行为。通过浸出深度、pH 值和抗压强度评估了钙浸出阻力。采用电化学阻抗光谱法、X 射线衍射分析法、热重分析法、傅立叶变换红外光谱法、扫描电子显微镜法和汞侵入孔隙模拟法揭示了水泥水合物和微观结构特性的变化,从而揭示了潜在的机理。结果表明,由于 CE 对水泥水化的延缓作用,CH 和 C-S-H 的数量会减少。含有 CE 的样品中,CH 晶体的边缘受到侵蚀,尺寸变小,C-S-H 相的形态混乱,尺寸变小,从而增加了 CH 和 C-S-H 的分解率。CE 通过诱导毛细孔和大孔隙来增加总孔隙率,从而导致水泥浆中孔隙连通性降低和扭曲度增加。钙浸出过程中水泥浆的降解主要取决于 CH 和 C-S-H 的含量,而不是初始孔隙结构。因此,随着 CE 含量的增加,CE 会增加水泥浆的浸出程度。此外,还提出了一种非破坏性方法,通过建立浸出深度与破坏因子之间的关系来确定添加了 CE 的水泥浆的浸出深度。

期刊介绍: Cement & concrete composites focuses on advancements in cement-concrete composite technology and the production, use, and performance of cement-based construction materials. It covers a wide range of materials, including fiber-reinforced composites, polymer composites, ferrocement, and those incorporating special aggregates or waste materials. Major themes include microstructure, material properties, testing, durability, mechanics, modeling, design, fabrication, and practical applications. The journal welcomes papers on structural behavior, field studies, repair and maintenance, serviceability, and sustainability. It aims to enhance understanding, provide a platform for unconventional materials, promote low-cost energy-saving materials, and bridge the gap between materials science, engineering, and construction. Special issues on emerging topics are also published to encourage collaboration between materials scientists, engineers, designers, and fabricators.
