Cobalt immobilization performance and mechanism analysis of low carbon belite calcium sulfoaluminate cement

Cementitious materials are well acknowledged as one of the most adaptable materials for immobilizing heavy metals. Belite calcium sulfoaluminate cement (BCSA), one of the low-carbon alternative binders to cement with superior properties regarding chemical resistance and mechanical properties, is found with a desirable capability for waste...

Investigation of the hydration properties of cement with EDTA by alternative current impedance spectroscopy

Alternative current impedance spectroscopy (ACIS) is a promising non-destructive testing method to monitor long-term change and assess the durability of concrete. This study investigates the influences of Ethylene Diamine Tetraacetic Acid (EDTA) on the hydration of hardening cement by ACIS. It is found that EDTA retards the early-age...
