Colloidal and Chemical Processes in Hardening Alkaline Compositions Based on Aluminosilicates and Slags: 1. Control of the Properties of Alkaline Compositions

Chemical interactions in aqueous concentrated compositions based on natural and technogenic aluminosilicates and binders are studied by the rheology and calorimetry methods. It is shown that small amounts of alkali cause the hardening of compositions. Concepts of controlling the properties of hardening compositions by the addition of corresponding alkalis are developed.
