Abstract
Non-hydraulic magnesium oxysulfate cement has many superior properties than ordinary portland cement and it draws much research interest due to energy saving and environment protection considerations. It is formed by the exothermic reaction between lightly calcined MgO and MgSO4·7H2O (epsom salt) solution. This heat is responsible for cracking and makes the product unsound. The incorporation of inert filler can overcome this problem by absorbing the excess heat. In present work, a parametric study was conducted to investigate the effect of dry-mix composition (MgO: inert filler) and gauging solution epson (MgSO4·7H2O) concentration on cementing properties of magnesium oxysulfate cement. The results show that a 1:1 dry-mix composition of MgO and dolomite with 25º Be concentration of magnesium sulfate works best in the cementing action of magnesium oxysulfate.
