A dry mineral binder composition includes cement and mineral fillers for the manufacture of molded parts by way of 3D printing. The binder composition additionally contains at least one aluminum sulfate-based accelerator, at least one polycarboxylate ether-based super-plasticizer and at least one rheology additive.

In a method for the 3D-printing of hydrous mineral binder compositions, an aqueous accelerator is mixed with the binder composition in a continuous mixer. The method is very robust and makes it possible to quickly print even large moulded bodies having a uniform aesthetic surface and very good strength development properties.

The present invention relates to a cured composite comprising (A) an aluminosilicate source, (B) an alkali activator and (C) alkali-resistant fibers, in which: the aluminosilicate source (A) contains a blast furnace slag, in which the content of the blast furnace slag is 40% by mass or more relative to a total solid content in the aluminosilicate source (A); the content of the alkali activator (B) is 10% by mass or less relative to a total solid content in the curable composition; and the water content in the cured composite is 10.0% by mass or less relative to a total mass of the cured composite.

Aqueous cementitious slurries including predominantly Type I Portland cement containing an aluminate additive. The aluminate additive is an aluminate salt other than calcium aluminate or calcium sulfoaluminate, preferably sodium aluminate. Cementitious reactive powders of the slurry include the Type I Portland cement and 0.1-10 wt. % of the aluminate additive as an accelerator. The slurries may have a set time of about 10 minutes or less. Due to the short set time, the cementitious reactive powders may facilitate cement board fabrication by continuous manufacturing processes. Methods for making cement boards may include disposing the aqueous cementitious slurry including the cementitious reactive powders in a continuous layer, preferably upon a porous support, and setting the aqueous cementitious slurry with a set time of about 10 minutes or less.

A method of treating a lost circulation zone in a wellbore includes contacting an accelerant composition comprising triethanolamine with a cement composition in the lost circulation zone, the cement composition comprising at least: from 1 weight percent (wt. %) to 90 wt. % cement precursor based on the total weight of the cement composition; and from 5 wt. % to 70 wt. % water based on the total weight of the cement composition; where a weight ratio of triethanolamine to the cement precursor is from 0.1 percent (%) to 60%; and curing the cement composition in the lost circulation zone to form a cured cement, where the triethanolamine accelerates the curing rate of the cement composition and the cured cement seals the lost circulation zone.
