Abstract
The effects of addition of Cr20.1 , Cr03, Cr(OHh, Fe20 3 and
Fe(OHh on the properties of cement have been studied using
0.5 to 5.0 per cent of additives by weight of cement. The
variation in setting time, strength, heat of hydration of cement
with different percentage of additives were investigated.
Chemical interactions occur between the additives and
hydrating cement particles and as a result change in colour of
the cement along with variation of other properties were
observed. X-ray diffraction data have shown the presence of
new phases in the cement samples with additives.
