Quick-setting magnesium based cement and concrete

Abstract

A method of producing magnesium cement. The method may comprise mixing water at a temperature of between approximately 50° C. and 100° C. and a magnesium salt to form an intermediate mixture and then mixing the intermediate mixture with a magnesium oxygen-containing compound. The magnesium oxygen-containing compound may comprise one or more of magnesium oxide and magnesium hydroxide. The magnesium salt may comprise one or more of magnesium acetate, magnesium bromide, magnesium oxalate, magnesium thiosulfate, magnesium phosphate, magnesium nitrate, magnesium silicate, a magnesium chloride in any hydration state, anhydrous magnesium chloride, hexahydrate magnesium chloride, a magnesium sulfate in any hydration state, anhydrous magnesium sulfate, heptahydrate magnesium sulfate and magnesium carbonate.
