    Abstract:
    In order to study what the effect of superplasticizers on the setting time, fluidity and compressive strength of calcium sulfoaluminate cement (CSA) a naphthalene-based superplasticizer (BNS) and a polycarboxylic acid superplasticizer (PC) were selected to interact with CSA pastes and ye'elimite, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric (TG) analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analytical methods were used to investigate the class, amount and microstructure of the CSA pastes and ye'elimite pastes hydration products under the effect of the superplasticizers. The results showed that the addition of BNS can promote ettringite generation and thus improve the early compressive strength. As the addition of BNS increased from 0.8 wt% to 2.0 wt%, the initial setting time was prolonged 10 min, the final setting time was prolonged 7 min, the 5 min fluidity was improved from no fluidity to 220 mm. However, as the addition of PC increased from 0.08 wt% to 0.20 wt%, the setting time of the PC just changed within 3 min; the 5 min fluidity increased from 110 mm to 195 mm and no 15 min fluidity at all was observed. AS seen by SEM, it can be stated that generated ettringite under the addition of PC was layered and lacking bonding, and its morphology changed from rod-like to flake-like, leading to a decrease in early compressive strength.
