Stochastic Modeling of the Hydration Kinetics of β-CaSO4⋅0.5H2O

In this paper, we consider modeling of the hydration kinetics of β-CaSO4⋅0.5H2O with the use of conductometric measurement results. We review existing kinetic models and use them to describe the results obtained. Stochastic models are shown to ensure the best agreement with experimental data. The practically important result of this study is the possibility of predicting the setting time of gypsum plaster mortars.
