Abstract

The effect of electrolyzed water in controlling the setting behavior of cement paste was investigated in this study. The distilled, as well as the 30 min electrolyzed water, was used to prepare the cement paste. Analyzing the results, the final setting time of control cement (CC) paste, as well as the 30 min electrolyzed water based cement (EC) paste, was measured to be 172 ± 5 min and 108 ± 4 min, respectively. The reduction of setting time is due to the quick hydration of cement clinkers. Based on the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis, the early setting and hydration performance of cement has been justified.
