Abstract
The chemical compositions of the pore solutions extracted from seven different cement pastes (one Swedish and one French standard Portland cement, sulfate resistant, blast-furnace slag, fly ash, silica, and high alumina cement) have been determined. Analyses covered Na, K, Ca, Mg, Al, Fe, and Si as well as pH and Eh (redox potential). Ionic strengths in the range 0.03–0.29 M and pH-values in the range 12.4–13.5 were obtained. Only the pore solutions from the slag cement and the French Portland cement were reducing (negative Eh). The dominating cations of standard Portland, sulfate resistant, slag, silica and fly ash cement pore solutions were Na and K, and in sulfate resistant cement also Ca. The main components in the pore solutions of aluminate cement were Na and Al. The Si and Fe concentrations were low in all pore solutions.
