HYDRATION CHARACTERISTICS OF PROMPT CEMENT IN THE PRESENCE CITRIC ACID AS RETARDER

The aim of the present work is to study the influence of citric acid (CA) as retarder on the properties of prompt cement pastes. The dosages of CA were 0.50, and 0.75, 1.00 and 1.25 mass % of prompt cement. The initial and final setting times, bulk density, compressive strength, total porosity, and...
