The effect of PbO on cement hydration kinetics by calorimetric method was evaluated as a first step in this project. Substantial retardation of reaction with water at early stages with subsequent intensification of the process was found. As the next step, the model systems covering pure cement minerals and their mixtures of various composition as well as soluble Pb salts were taken into account to elucidate the mechanism of delayed, by quite good formation of products in the so-called post-induction period. The precipitation of sulphate, forming very thin impermeable layer seems to be responsible for this delaying effect in case of cement, however the other reactions of Pb compounds in alkaline environment of hydrating calcium silicate are not out of importance. In order to prove this, the studies of chemical composition in small areas were also carried out.
