A method of reducing corrosion in tubular strings installed in wellbores includes dispensing an accelerated cement composition into a wellbore annulus, a casing-casing annulus, or both, the accelerated cement composition comprising a cement composition and an accelerant composition, where: the cement composition comprises a cement precursor and water; the accelerant composition comprises triethanolamine; and a concentration of the triethanolamine in the accelerated cement composition is greater than or equal to 10,000 parts per million by weight; allowing the accelerated cement composition to cure in the annulus to form a cured cement, where the triethanolamine reacts with a metal of the tubular string, the reaction forming a protective layer on the surfaces of the tubular string that inhibits dissolution of iron from the metal of the tubular string.

The present invention relates to the use of a soluble magnesium compound for adjusting, in particular reducing, the viscosity of an aluminum sulfate suspension.

The invention relates to a product and method for repair of roadway or pavement damage such as potholes, concrete/asphalt joints, and other damage to paved surfaces. The product can be adjusted in terms of the cure time of the product, allowing the user to customize the product for best use in the particular repair being made. Fast cures can be obtained of 5 minutes or less, suitable for quick repair of a small defect in pavement, or the cure time can be extended to 60 or more minutes, suitable for larger projects that can take many hours to complete. The product, when mixed, handles like easily pourable concrete mix, but acts like a hot mix repair when cured.

An accelerator powder for cement and also rapid-setting binder compositions which contain the accelerator powder and the use in mortar or concrete. The accelerator powder includes from 10 to 99.7% by weight of a water-insoluble mineral powder P and from 0.3 to 90% by weight of at least one compound V selected from the group consisting of alkali metal halides and alkaline earth metal halides, alkali metal nitrates and alkaline earth metal nitrates, alkali metal nitrites and alkaline earth metal nitrites, alkali metal thiocyanates and alkaline earth metal thiocyanates and hydroxyalkylamines or salts thereof, and mixtures thereof.

A method for preparing an accelerator for sprayed mortar/concrete is provided. The accelerator includes an organic component, inorganic component aluminum sulfate, an initiator, and a reductant. The organic component in the form of a polymer monomer is added to concrete and polymerized into a polymer network structure in the presence of the initiator and the reductant; and the inorganic component aluminum sulfate promotes rapid hydration of the concrete to form an inorganic network structure. Such organic-inorganic interpenetrating network thickens a cement-based material rapidly to achieve strong adhesion, fast-setting and hardening properties and effectively reduces resilience of the sprayed mortar/concrete. The accelerator prepared by the method is well compatible with all sorts of cement, efficient and environmentally friendly. The organic-inorganic interpenetrating network is formed by polymerization and cement hydration, and therefore, the toughness of the sprayed mortar/concrete is improved by the organic polymer-inorganic compound accelerator.

A cementitious composition is provided that includes: (a) pumice; (b) cement; and (c) substantially spherical silica particles.
