Sucrose and zinc oxide (ZnO) are effective cement hydration retarders. The goal of this study was to provide a new look into the ZnO cement hydration mechanism and to investigate impacts of various supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) on retardation behavior of ZnO and sucrose. Changes in the pore solution composition and reaction kinetics were measured for cementitious systems with ZnO or sucrose that contained rice straw ash (RSA), wheat straw ash, silica fume, metakaolin, and fly ash. Among the SCMs used, RSA dramatically suppressed ZnO and sucrose retardation. Experimental results indicated that the mechanism by which ZnO retards hydration reaction could be nucleation and/or growth poisoning of C-S-H. Reduced retardation of paste samples containing RSA was attributed to the ability of RSA to provide nucleation sites for C-S-H precipitation. This study provides a better understanding of the interaction between SCMs and cement hydration retarders essential in predicting retarder–dose effects.
