The study of adsorption phenomena at the interface of solids and aqueous solutions of surfactants is the basis for identifying the mechanisms of plasticization, water reduction and air entrainment of mineral-water systems. Obviously, the free surface energy of the solid phase plays a special role in these phenomena. In this work, the components of this energy (acid-base and dispersion) for various mineral materials (cement clinker and limestones) were determined by the wetting angle method, and the effect of aqueous solutions of plasticizing additives on this indicator was estimated. It was shown that in materials with a relatively high SiO2 content, the acid component γs+ significantly prevails, while in materials with a low proportion of SiO2 and an increased content of CaO+MgO, the basic component γs of the surface energy predominantly manifests itself. This allows us to estimate the efficiency of aqueous solutions of cement concrete plasticizers, which are strong anion-active substances that are intensively adsorbed on the surface of materials with a pronounced basic component. The wetting angle of cement clinker and limestones with aqueous solutions of industrial plasticizers of different nature was studied: “Polyplast Ligno” based on sodium lignosulfonates, polynaphthalene methylsulfonate “SP-1” and “PC-1701” – a modified polycarboxylate ether. It was found that the most effective of them was the superplasticizer “PC-1701”, which even at an insignificant concentration (0.1%) reduces the contact angle of wetting on the surface of medium-strength limestone by 29.3%.
