Zeta Potential Change and curing effects on Shield Muck solidified by Metal Ion Complex Catalysis by Bosong Ding, Ping Lou, Isamu Yoshitake, Rui Wang, Zhenyu Wang, You Wang

“…Results showed that the metal ion complex significantly reduces the surface zeta potential of shield muck and conventional curing materials, with cement showing the most substantial effect, followed by shield muck, calcium carbonate, and calcium sulfate. The concentration of metal ion complex negatively correlates with the zeta potential within a range of 0 to 100 mmol/L. …”
