Popis: This paper deals with the chemical activation of lime-pozzolan cement (LPC), which consists of 80% natural pozzolan and 20% hydrated lime (by mass). Results show that the addition of 4% Na2SO4 can significantly improve the early strength of this cement. The presence of 4% flake calcium chloride (CaCl2.2H2O) is not helpful to early strength, but can increase the later strength substantially. CaSO4.O.5H2O and NaCl do not demonstrate an obvious effect on the strength development of the cement. Combination of activators, such as CaCl2.2H2O+Na2SO4 or Na2SO4+NaCl does not improve the activation effect; pastes with 2% Na2SO4+2% NaCl show lower strength than the pastes with 2% Na2SO4 alone.
