Abstract

Pastes prepared from diammonium orthophosphate and calcined magnesia, MgO, exhibit a fast setting and hardening associated with NH3 liberation. Struvite, MgNH4PO4.6H2O, was found to be the main reaction product. Pastes made with NaH2PO4 or Na-polyphosphate exhibit a similar hardening reaction. The hardening reaction may be retarded and the ultimate strength moderately increased by adding appropriate retarders, such as Na2B4O7 10H2O to the system. The quality of the used MgO and its fineness has a significant effect on the rate of the hardening reaction.
