Hydration Mechanism of the Hydrogen-Rich Water Based Cement Paste

With the aim to speed up the construction process, utilization of the hydrogen-rich water as a cement set accelerator would be a unique approach. The investigation deals with the effectiveness of the hydrogen-rich water in controlling the setting and the hydration behavior of cement. Analyzing the setting time using Vicat apparatus, the initial and final setting time of the control cement is measured to be 197 ± 6 and 257 ± 3 min, respectively,...
