Abstract
In this paper, the influence of curing time and temperature on the compressive strength development of chemically-activated high phosphorous slag content cement composed of phosphorous slag (80wt.%), Portland cement (14wt.%), and a compound chemical activator consisting of sodium sulphate and anhydrite (6wt.%) is investigated. For this purpose, mortar specimens were prepared and cured in lime-saturated water at different temperatures of 25, 45, 65, 85, and 100°C in an oven and at temperatures of 165 and 200°C in autoclave. Results showed that the ultimate compressive strength decreases at curing temperatures higher than 45°C. Investigations by XRD and FTIR show that curing at temperatures higher than 45°C results in the formation of α-C2SH.
