Abstract

This study is aimed at the determination of pore solution composition of hardened cement pastes prepared with the addition of chromium-, cadmium- and nickel-salts. Due to the high pH-value of the pore water of cement paste, cadmium and nickel were transformed into insoluble hydroxides and precipitated practically quantitatively. Chromium, added as Na2Cr2O7.2 H2O, which is soluble in a highly alkaline medium, was partly bound. It is not clear yet, whether chromium was adsorbed and/or incorporated in hydration products. The use of clinker instead of cement caused a more intensive bond. Adsorbents (silica fume, fly ash and activated carbon), with the exception of fly ash did not improve this bonding.
