Abstract  

The hydration heat release behavior of magnesium phosphate cement (MPC) was investigated by isothermal calorimeter. Results show that according to the feature of reaction processes, the hydration of MPC could be divided into five periods, such as the initiation, dissolution of MgO, growth of Mg(H2O)62+, accelerating growth of MgKPO4·6H2O (MKP), as well as decelerating growth and stable period of MKP. Meanwhile, the activation energy of each stage was acquired by Arrhenius formula. The hydration of MPC needed to be excited by the acidic environment. With the extend of hydration time, H+ was consumed in the hydration system, and then the hydration system became alkaline gradually because of the slightly soluble nature and hydrolysis of MgO in water. In the early hydration stage of MPC the hydration product MKP crystallites grew and interconnected rapidly, which formed the frame of the whole structure of MPC and the compressive strength of MPC increased rapidly. After 8h of hydration, the growth rate of MKP decreased significantly, whilst the increase of compressive strength of MPC mainly depended on the integrity of interconnection of MKP crystallites.
