Abstract
Abstract A process for producing a binder (cement) to be used in slurry, mortar, or concrete having a low water-to-cement ratio. As raw-material for the binder is used at least 50% by weight of a hydraulic material, such as slag, technical pozzolanas and/or natural pozzolanas. The hydraulic material is ground to a specific surface of at least 400 m 2 /kg. To the raw-material is added 0.1 to 5% by weight of a plasticizing material, such as a sulphonated polyelectrolyte. To the raw-material are also added in total 0.5 to 8% by weight of sodium carbonate and/or sodium hydroxide. Added in small amounts, the sodium carbonate and the sodium hydroxide, separately or in combination, considerably shorten the hardening time of the concrete, yield excellent strengths, and make it possible to use cheap raw-materials.

A process for producing a binder which comprises combining; as a first material in an amount of from 50 to 99.4% by weight of at least one selected from the group consisting of slag, fly ash, technical pozzolanas, and natural pozzolanas; grinding said first material to a specific surface of at least 400 m 2 /kg; adding from 0 to 50% by weight of a second material having a high lime content and selected from the group consisting of Portland cement clinker and slaked lime; adding a plasticizer from 0.1 to 5% by weight of at least one sulphonated polyelectrolyte selected from the group consisting of lignosulphonates, sulphonated lignins, melamine-formaldehyde condensates, and naphthalene-formaldehyde condensates, and adding a setting and hardening regulator of 0.5% to 8% by weight of at least one material selected from the group consisting of NaOH, NaCO 3 , K 2 CO 3 , and Li 2 CO 3 .
