Effects of Retarders on Properties of Phosphogypsum-Sulfoaluminate Cement Composite Cementitious System

Abstract

Abstract: In this paper, the effects of citric acid (CA) and protein retarder (SC) on the properties of phosphogypsum-sulfoaluminate cement composite cementitious system were investigated. The fluidity, setting time and compressive strength were tested to evaluate the workability and mechanical of composite system, and the change of conductivity, phase composition and microstructure were analyzed to clarify the influence mechanism of different retarders. The results show that the strength loss of composite cementitious system under the action of SC is smaller than that of CA when the same setting time is achieved. The addition of two retarders has a certain inhibitory effect on the dissolution of composite system during the hydration induction and the acceleration period, and CA has a greater inhibitory effect than SC at the same content. CA can cause gypsum dihydrate crystals to show a flat and coarse structure, which has a greater impact on the mechanical properties, while SC increases the overall scale of gypsum dihydrate crystals, with little change in crystal morphology, which has a smaller effect on the deterioration of the mechanical properties of composite system.

Key words: phosphogypsum, calcium sulfoaluminate cement, retarder, setting time, mechanical strength, crystal morphology
