Abstract: Magnesium oxychloride cement (MOC) has the advantages of light weight,high strength and high wear resistance,however,its poor water resistance restricts its development in the construction industry.To prepare high water resistance of MOC,natural zeolite powder (NZOP) was used as admixture.The effect of NZOP on the setting time,compressive strength and water resistance of MOC was investigated.Meanwhile,X-ray diffractometer,scanning electron microscope and mercury intrusion porosimetry were used to analyze the change of phase composition,microstructure and pore structure of modified MOC.In addition,the concentration of Cl- in immersing solution was measured by ion chromatograph.The results show that NZOP effectively improves the compressive strength and water resistance of MOC and reduces the initial and final setting time of MOC.After adding 30% (mass fraction) NZOP and 0.5% (mass fraction) phosphoric acid,the 28 d compressive strength and 28 d softening coefficient of MOC reach up to 75.8 MPa and 0.91,respectively,and the concentration of Cl- in immersing solution is as low as 9.0 mmol/L.In addition,the concentration of Cl- in immersing solution increases with the decrease of the softening coefficient of MOC.

Key words: magnesium oxychloride cement, natural zeolite powder, phosphoric acid, oxalic acid, water resistance, microstructure
