Abstract

A base component for reaction with a catalyst component comprises a paste of high alumina cement, water and a source of CaO and SiO2 - eg. preferably granulated blast furnace slag or alternatively PFA, silica fume, a pozzolan or diatomaceous earth.

Description

SPECIFICATION Cementitious composition The invention relates to a cementitious composition.
It is known to formulate cementitious compositions based on Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) or on high alumina cement (HAC) for various purposes in the building, construction, civil engineering and mining industries. The use of HAC has its limitations, in particular a tendency for the hydrated cement to undergo HAC conversion which may lead to problems caused by loss of strength.
It is an object of this invention to provide a cementitious composition which has the advantages of the use of HAC without the disadvantages. In particular, a controlled rate of set, without any substantial deterioration in the u Itimate strength or other adverse effect.
The invention is based on the realisation that the incorporation in the HAC cementitious composition of a filler which is substantially inert with respect to the other ingredients and which will preferably be activated by water, will secure these advantages.
According to one aspect of the invention there is provided a a self-setting cementitious comprising high alumina cement and lime characterisedbythe presence of CaO and SiO2 in sufficient quantities such that on hydration of the cement, the hydrate phases of a hydrated Portland cement are formed.
The CaO and SiO2 may be provided by separate sources or a single source may be used. Preferred single sources are pulverisedfly ash, silica fume and pozzolans such asTripoli (available in the USA) and diatomaceous earths. It is a much preferred feature of the invention that the additives are supplied in a form which is non reactive with water, and for this purpose we prefer to use ground granulated blast furnace slag. The ground granulated blastfurnace slag preferably has a minimum fineness of 275m2/kg, and a bulkdensityof 1200 kg m -3 and an approximate specific gravity of 2.9. Such slags are made from rapidly cooled blast furnace slag which is the ground to the degree offineness indicated.
The hydrated phases in a set OPC cement are (cement chemistry notation) typically C4AH13 Ca(OH)2 C2ASH8 whereas in a set HAC cement the hydrated phases aretypically CAH10 C2AHB C3AH6 C2ASH8 (minor amount).
It is a surprising feature ofthe invention that by adding sources of CaO and SiO2 in sufficient quantities to an HAC cement the hydrated phases typical of an OPC are formed. The effect is illustrated in the oxide composition diagram of the accompanying drawing. The three main oxides which occur in cement systems are CaO (lime), A1203 (alumina) and SiO2 (silica). It will be seen thatthe oxide phases in the OPC and intheslag are relatively low in Al203, whereas that of the HAC is high. According to the invention by adding the ground granulated blastfurnace slag in sufficient quantity to the HAC, the set cement has an oxide composition more typical of OPC.
Blastfurnace slag is well known reactive filler often used in OPC compositions. So far as we are aware, no-one has previously proposed its use in a HAC composition, probably because its rate of reactivity conferred no benefit.
The blast furnace slag may be of any known type, and derived from any commercial source. The particle size may varywidely but the size should be related to that of the cement particles.
It is a surprising feature of the invention that the proportion of the blast furnace slag may be varied widely relative to the HAC without substantially affecting the rate of set.
The high alumina cement is known under a varietyofnames in different countries, for example "Cement Fondue" and "alumina cement" or "super alumina cement". The contentofalumina in thecementvaries from country to country, sometimes being as low as 30% and other times being over 77%. The invention is applicable to all such alumina cements.
The composition may be presented in dry form for on site mixing with water or it may be presented as a paste in which case the lime will be kept separate until the composition is to set.
The composition may include other ingredients, e.g. water reducing agents, expanding agents, surfactants, colourants, latex emulsions, anti-foaming agents and plasticisers. Accelerators may be present, e.g.
sodium carbonate, sodium sulphate, calcium chloride, sodium hydroxide, ferrous sulphate, sulphuric acid, acetic acid, calcium sulphate, etc. Athixotropic,thickening agent or air entraining agent may be present.
Polymeric additives such as cellulose ethers, polyacrylamides and polyethylene oxides, or montmorillonite type clays may be present.
A grout formed of a cementitious composition of the invention may be used for a wide variety of purposes in the building, construction and allied industries. The fast rate of set is an advantage, coupled with the maintenance of the set strength.
In an evaluation a cementitious composition was mixed with water to form a grout which had the following oxide composition CaO 42.2 A1203 18.2 Fe2O3 5.9 SiO2 28.7 others 5.0 Samples of hardened grout were wet cured at 25"C fortwo months, six months and one year respectively.
The set groutwas subjected to X-ray diffraction analysis, and the following results were obtained (cement chemistry notation) CSH C4AH,3 Ca(OH)2 C3A.3CS.H32 C2ASH8 These hydrated phases are more typical of those present in an OPC - blast furnace slag composition. The absence of hydrated phases typical of HAC grouts, is particularly noteworthy. These results indicatethatat the setting stage one can have the advantage of the HAC, and avoids the hydrated phases typical of set HAC.
