Acid Attack Resistance of Magnesium Phosphate Cement

Article Preview

Abstract:

Magnesium phosphate cements (MPC) had been used as repair materials for deteriorated Portland cement concrete structures. In this paper a new MPC was prepared and the basic properties including workability and compressive strength were tested. The acid attack resistance of MPC was investigated by immersing the MPC mortars in solutions at pH 3, 5, and 7, for 14d, 28d and 60d respectively. The compressive strength of MPC mortars after acid attack was tested and the microstructure of MPC were examined. The results showed that the compressive strength of MPC decreased after immersion in acid solution for 14d and 28d, however the strength of MPC with suitable materials mixture can recovered again after 60d immersion. The results indicated MPC has high acid attack resistance in static acid solution. The behavior of MPC in flowing acid solutions is need to be studied further.
