Disclosed herein are thermodynamically stable cement systems comprising a curing agent mixed with a CAC. The curing agent can be hydrophilic to attract bound water. In such a manner, the addition of the curing agent can treat the CAC. The treated material can then be cured to form a thermodynamically stable cement material. The curing agent can comprise a natural fiber material that comprises cellulose. Alternatively, or in addition, the curing agent can comprise cellulose nanoparticles, such as cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) or cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). Also disclosed herein are methods of making the same.

A process for preparing powdered dispersants comprising at least 90% by weight of at least one copolymer CP of the polycarboxylate ether type. The powdered dispersants can be easily dispersed in water. The invention also relates to the use of such powdered dispersants in mineral binder compositions, in particular dry mortars, concrete or gypsum formulations.

A regulating cementitious material for promoting hydration of Portland cement is provided. The regulating cementitious material may include ingredients by weight as follows: ye'elimite, 27˜68 parts; anhydrite, 29˜68 parts; lithium nitrite, 2˜5 parts; ethylene glycol monoisopropanolamine, 0.14˜0.29 parts; triethanolamine acetate, 0.04˜0.09 parts; and polyglycerol, 0.04˜0.09 parts. An early strength of Portland cement can be improved through a cooperative hydration between minerals and an enhanced solubilization of a complexing agent.

The present provides a concrete and mortar mix and composition thereof with poor quality sand such as desert sand, hydraulic binder (cement) and filamentous cellulose, where the desert sand/spherical sand replaces conventional concrete river sands. The present disclosure also relates a filamentous cellulose, such as, cellulose filaments (CF), cellulose nano filaments, cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) and microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) as a concrete/mortar and sand adhesion additive with hydraulic binder (cement), and to a method of making the concrete. This method also relates to a method to prevent the sliding of individual sand grains against one another and therefor similarly contributes to the stabilization of the building materials.

A method for the application of hydrous mineral binder compositions which contain fibres. An aqueous accelerator is mixed with the aqueous binder composition in a mixer shortly before the application. The method is very robust and makes it possible to quickly produce even large moulded bodies having a uniform surface and very good strength development properties.

A concrete and asphalt repair coating formulation includes a cement component and an aggregate component. The cement component includes a calcium sulfoaluminate cement and a Portland cement. The aggregate component includes coarse aggregates between 125-500 microns in diameter and fine aggregates between 5-62.5 microns in diameter.

The invention relates to a method for producing supersulfated cement, wherein pozzolanic and hydraulic aluminosilicate components and a calcium-sulfate-alkaline activation complex are mixed together. The calcium-sulfate-alkaline activation complex is produced by carrying out the following successive steps: a first step of mixing 70% by weight of calcium sulfate and 30% by weight of alkaline components; and subsequently; a second step of thermodynamically activating, by hot quenching, the calcium-sulfate-alkaline activation complex; and subsequently; a third step of cold quenching, by rapid mixing, the activated calcium-sulfate-alkaline activation complex with the pozzolanic aluminosilicate components.
