AN ANALYSIS OF FACTORS AFFECTING PARTICLE-SIZE DISTRIBUTION OF HYDRAULIC CEMENTS

It is noted that particle size distribution of hydraulic cements plays an important role in controlling the product quality and maintaining reliable performance in end applications. This is a discussion of the primary criteria to be met by a particle size distribution analyzer for applications in hydraulic cement characterization. A light diffraction technique is utilized to examine the effect of dispersion solvents on the resulting size disrtibution. Distilled water, distilled water containing a polyacrylate surfactant, isopropyl alcohol, and a commercially available organic surfactant are used as dispersion solvents. The resulting data are analyzed with respect to variations due to the dispersion solvents and factors responsible for the observed variations.
