Acid sulfate soils | NSW Environment, Energy and Science
Acid sulfate soils are found in every coastal estuary in NSW. Because of their estuarine origin, they are usually found at elevations less than 1 metre above sea level. Acid sulfate soils are common in mangrove and saltmarsh areas. They underlie floodplains, levees and backswamps. Acid sulfate soils may affect more than 260,000 hectares of land.

Chemical Attack on Hardened Concrete| Concrete ...
· Soluble sulfates occur naturally in many parts of the world and are potentially harmful to concrete. Resistance to naturally occurring sulfates can best be achieved by use of a cement with a limited amount of tricalcium aluminate. Trace amounts of sugar in freshly mixed concrete are sufficient to retard the setting, but dry sugar has no effect on hardened concrete. Sugar solutions and sugar ...

ABSTRACT. The influence of citric acid on the hydration and strength development of a calcium sulphoaluminate cement was investigated. Cement pastes were prepared by mixing calcium sulphoaluminate (C 4 A 3 Ŝ) with 15, 20 and 25wt% of hemihydrate (CŜH ).Citric acid was added as a retarder at 0 and %.
