Sulfate and acid resistance of lithomarge-based geopolymer mortars (2018, background): “Progression of the acid attack front causes loss of alkalinity coupled with an increase in porosity and permeability, thus leading to mass and strength loss [12].”
Performance of alkali-activated slag mortars exposed to acids (2012, background): “In Portland cement specimens, it has previously been identified [30,37] that the corrosion mechanism induced by exposure to CH3COOH involves first the complete consumption of portlandite via the neutralisation of the hydroxyl ions, then the decalcification of the clinker phases present in unreacted ”
Acid resistance of inorganic polymer binders. 1. Corrosion rate (2012, background): “For the same reason solutions of weak acids can be far more aggressive towards cementitious materials than strong acids of the same pH [ 26 , 27].”
