Fig. 14. Flow chart of the catalyst preparation method. 2.3.1 Precipitation method The precipitation method adds an alkaline substance (precipitant) into the aqueous solution of metal salt under stirring conditions and then washing, filtering, drying, and roasting the precipitate to obtain the requir...
Although the alkali metal contribution of the SPs is minor compared to the amount released by the cement, it can still affect the induced damage caused by ASRs. Very few studies have been performed to understand the effect of SPs on ASR-induced development. Some of these works observed that ...
