What method should be used to maintain the condition of the cement paste specimen in immersion test?

23 July 2020 1 9K Report

I'm planning the calcium leaching experiment. Thereby, the cement paste specimens were immersed in the 6M ammonium nitrate(NH4NO3) solution. If the specimens were removed at a specific immersion age, what method should be used to maintain the condition at that time? (For example, can it be maintained when the specimens were immersed in acetone and then dried?)

Hello,I am pleased to answer your question.I think you can put the cement paste specimen into the constant temperature and humidity curing box to ensure its condition. If you follow your method, making the specimens were immersed in acetone and then dried, the moisture content of the specimen will change with the drying time. I hope my answer will help you.
