Abstract:In view of the phenomena that no Ca(OH)2 exsits in the hydration products of alkalislag cement and its carbonation is more serious, water glass was selected as the alkali activater, and XRD and SEM were adopted to study carbonation products and microstructure of alkalislag cement pastes, while the pore structure was researched by nitrogen adsorption. The results show that the carbonation takes place directly on the CSH gel and calcium carbonate, the carbonated product of alkalislag pastes exists mainly in the form of calcite. After carbonation, the Ca/Si of CSH gel decreases, while surface area of the pastes increases and the average pore diameter reduces. The change in cumulative volume of pores varies with modulus of water glass.
