Hi fellow chemistry enthusiasts,
I was wondering if anyone explored the idea of using the cement curing process to our advantage. As you know, cement curing produces calcium hydroxide and has a high pH, something between 11-13.
One idea that comes to mind, is to use small blocks of freshly made cement, to raise pH in a controlled manner.
I guess the idea is silly, because it would probably be simpler to achieve more predictable results by dosing calcium hydroxide via dosing pump, but I thought it would be worth asking.
