Popis: The sucrose (0.045%) is added in the cement paste, the consistency of Ca2+ and OH- reduce little, the AFt has high solubility product, thus the AFt exists as gel like product which covers the surface of the clinker particles, the sucrose acts as a retarder. When the dosage of the sucrose is 0.24%, the sucrose poisons the hydration of C2S and C3S markedly, so the consistency of Ca2+ and OH- reduce sharply, the AFt has low solubility product, the needle like AFt form a hydration product network and accelerates the setting process, C2S and C3S cannot yield enough C-S-H, the strength development is baffled. It was supposed that there are two dosage threshold values of sucrose on the hydration process, 0.01% is a retardation threshold value accelerating the formation of Aft, while 0.2% is an acceleration threshold value poisoning the hydration of C3S and C2S.
