Magnesium phosphate cement (MPC) is an acid-base cement with applications as a construction material. This cement has properties superior to portland cement like high early strength. However, MPC has a short setting time, high heat of hydration, and poor water resistance. In addition, this cement uses dead-burned magnesium oxide, prepared at around 1500 ˚C, which consumes much energy, releases CO2, and increases cost. In this study, the two main components of magnesium potassium phosphate cement, dead-burned MgO and potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KH2PO4) are replaced with less-expensive and environmentally-friendly materials; a calcium sulphoaluminate cement and a mixture of phosphoric acid and fly ash, in three groups of mixtures. In Group I, KH2PO4 is replaced with the fly ash phosphate, and it is observed that the setting time is shortened, but water resistance increases significantly. In Group II, MgO is replaced with calcium sulfoaluminate cement, setting time increases up to 7 hours, and early-age compressive strength is low, but similar to the reference mix at 28 d. In Group III, both components are replaced. This group has a longer setting time than Group I and shorter than Group II as well as vi lower compressive strength. Unlike in typical MPC, Reaction products of all mixtures are predominantly amorphous.

Effect of mixture proportioning on the strength and mineralogy of magnesium phosphate cements
Bilginer, Baki Aykut; Erdoğan, Sinan Turhan (Elsevier BV, 2021-3)
Magnesium potassium phosphate cement (MKPC) has properties advantageous over ordinary portland cement such as quick setting and rapid strength gain. Although the effect of mixture proportioning on MKPC pastes has been studied, there are conflicting reports on how calcination of magnesia, parameters like magnesium-to-phosphate ratio (M/P) and water-to-binder ratio (W/B), added materials like borax and fly ash, or the addition of sand influence mineralogy and properties like setting and strength. These factor...
Properties of reactive magnesia-incorporated cements
Ardoğa, Mehmet Kemal; Yaman, İsmail Özgür; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-2)
Magnesium oxide (MgO) has limited use in civil engineering applications. The presence of MgO (especially in free form) in portland cements is limited by the standards due to the risk involved in the gradual hydration of MgO that may lead to disruptive expansions after the cementitious system hardens. However, it is possible to overcome this detrimental effect by calcining magnesite at lower temperatures than that is encountered in the cement kilns and use thus obtained reactive MgO as an additive in cement....
Fabrication and characterization of porous hydroxyapatite and biphasic calcium phosphate ceramic as bone substitutes
Koc, N; Timucin, M; Korkusuz, Feza (2004-01-01)
In the present study, the calcium phosphate powders (HAP, HAP-TCP) were produced by a precipitation technique involving the use of aqueous solutions of calcium nitrate and diammonium hydrogen phosphate. Preforms of calcium phosphate ceramics were produced by using a modified slip casting technique. Porosity in the cast and in the sintered ceramic was obtained through custom made PMMA beads similar to200-300 mum size. The green ceramic samples were prepared by suspending the apatite powder and PMMA beads in ...
Low-energy alinite cement from soda sludge waste
Uçal, Gultekin O.; Mahyar, Mahdi; Tokyay, Mustafa; Yaman, İsmail Özgür (2017-01-01)
Alinite cement which was developed in 1970s is an alternative inorganic, low-energy binding material in which chlorine containing wastes can be utilized. Although potentially a suitable candidate, there is little research on utilization of soda sludge waste in cementitious systems. In this experimental study, synthesis and optimization of the properties of alinite cement by using soda sludge waste as a raw material was carried out by investigating optimum calcination temperature and calcination duration, ch...

Acrylic cements with different compositions were prepared by mixing the solid part (composed of poly(methyl methacrylate), PMMA, and benzoyl peroxide, BPO) and the liquid part (composed of methyl methacrylate, MMA, and N,N-dimethyl-p-toluidine, DMPT), modified by addition of hydroxyapatite (HA) and ammonium nitrate (AN) and characterized by measuring thermal and mechanical properties. Three sets of samples were prepared. For B-group, the total amount of solid including HA was constant but the PMMA to HA rat...
