Recently, calcium nitrite (Ca(NO)) and calcium nitrate (Ca(NO)) have been increasingly used as the main components of salt- and alkali-free anti-freezing agents, for promoting concrete hydration in cold-weather concreting. With an increase in the amount of nitrite-based accelerator, the hydration of CA, CS, and βCS in the cement is accelerated, thereby improving its early strength and effectively preventing the initial frost damage. Meanwhile, with an increase in the amount of nitrite-based accelerator, the expansion and shrinkage of the concrete-and, therefore, the crack occurrence-are expected to increase. In this study, various experiments were conducted on shrinkage, crack initiation, and the development of mortar containing a considerable amount of a nitrite-based accelerator. The result confirmed that, as the amount of nitrite-based accelerator was increased, the shrinkage was increased, and cracking in early age was more likely to occur, compared to the cases without the addition of this accelerator.

Development of an effective and convenient sensor for sensitive detection of nitrites is of great concern since excessive amounts of nitrites can be harmful to both human health and the environment. In this work, Cu-MOF modified exfoliated graphite paper (EGP) was employed as a signal reporter to enable the visual and electrochemical dual-mode sensing of nitrites. Cu-MOFs were synthesized on EGP, which exhibited an excellent oxidase enzyme-like activity to oxidize 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) into its oxidation product (oxTMB).

A new eco-friendly, rapid, and sensitive spectrophotometric method was developed to determine small quantities of nitrite, based on a diazotization mechanism. In an acidic solution, sulfathiazole was first diazotized with sodium nitrite, followed by adding phosphate buffer to form a yellow-colored compound, which showed maximum absorption at 450 nm, without the need for the addition of coupling agents such as N-(1-naphthyl) ethylenediamine. The effects of reagents amount and the optimal experimental conditions were examined by Central composite design.

This study investigated the physical properties of section-restoration mortar with calcium nitrite (Ca(NO)) and carbon dioxide (CO) nanobubble mixing water to develop materials and methods for the repair and reinforcement of cracks in reinforced concrete (RC) structures. As the calcium nitrite content increased, the generation rate and generated amount of nitrite-based hydration products also increased, owing to the rapid reaction between NO ions in calcium nitrite and CA(AlO). Further, the reaction with CS and CS was accelerated, thereby increasing the generation rates of Ca(OH) and C-S-H.

When concrete is used for construction in cold-temperature regions, cold-resistant accelerators based on calcium nitrite (Ca(NO)) and calcium nitrate (Ca(NO)) are added to prevent early freezing damage. Although cold-resistant accelerators increase the early compressive strength and prevent early freezing damage by promoting cement hydration, the strength enhancement effect owing to the formation of such hydrates has not been evaluated quantitatively thus far. This study covers various types of analysis to understand the relationship between cement hydrate formation behavior and strength development upon the addition of varying amounts of nitrite-based accelerator.
