Cement Hydration Inhibition with Sucrose, Tartaric Acid ...
Sep 07, 2006· The reaction of the cement retarders tartaric acid, sucrose, and lignosulfonate with tricalcium silicate (C3S), tricalcium aluminate (C3A), and C3A/gypsum have been studied by 27Al and 29Si MAS NMR spectroscopy, SEM, XRD, and XPS to gain an understanding of the effect on the individual minerals prior to studying a typical sample of portland cement.
