Physico-Chemical Peculiarities of Weighted Thermostable Plugging Materials Hydration

Abstract

A new competitive class of plugging compositions (weighted non-shrink plugging materials) has been created using as components a fly ash from thermal power station, a weighting additive and a superplasticizer. X-ray phase analysis identified the composition of new materials formed in the hydration process of the developed plugging compositions. The kinetic curves of the plugging material expansion in a wide temperature range have been obtained. Rational temperature regimes of plugging materials hardening according to the criteria of strength and gas permeability of cement stone have been determined.
