In this paper, modified cementitious powders with different doping amounts of calcium carbide slag (0,0.5 wt%,1.0 wt% and 1.5 wt%) were prepared with 32.5 grade ordinary portland cement, II grade fly ash and mirabilite as raw materials and industrial waste calcium carbide slag as additive materials. The effects of calcium carbide slag doping on the crystal structure, micro morphology, mechanical properties, setting time and combined water content of modified cementitious powder were analyzed.The results show that the doping of carbide slag doesn’t produce new products, but accelerates the consumption of C2S and C3S and improves the rate of hydration reaction.When the doping amount of carbide slag is 1.0 wt%, the hydration products are most closely combined.With the increase of calcium carbide slag doping, the setting time of the modified cementitious powder gradually decreases, and the compressive strength and chemical binding water content at 28 d first increase and then decrease.When the doping amount of carbide slag is 1.0 wt%, the compressive strength and chemical binding water content at 28 d reach the maximum, which are 2.98 MPa and 6.8% respectively.This is because the addition of appropriate amount of calcium carbide slag accelerates the hydration reaction of cementitious powder, increases its structural compactness, and improves the mechanical properties of cementitious powder.It can be seen that the optimum doping amount of carbide slag is 1.0 wt%.
