Title: Phosphate Ions - Does Exposure Lead to Degradation of Cementitious Materials?

Conference ·
OSTI ID:931090

An assessment of the potential effects of phosphate ions on cementitious materials was made through a review of the literature, contacts with concrete research personnel, and conduct of a "bench-scale" laboratory investigation. Results indicate that no harmful interactions occur between phosphate ions and cememtitious materials unless phosphates are present in form of phosphoric acid.
