Abstract
The results of theoretical and experimental studies aimed at developing a method for hydrophobization of mineral binders and building materials based on them by additives extracted from the organic matter of peat are presented. The processes occurring in heat treatment of peat are studied by analyzing the conversion of groups of chemical substances contained in peat. An increase in the concentration of hydrophobic compounds in thermal destruction of peat raw material is substantiated. The hydrophobizing effect of the additives is based on the formation of water-repellent adsorption films of bitumen compounds on cement particles. A working hypothesis of the mechanism of their formation is advanced.
