Abstract:
1. A method of preparing a slag composition, comprising: preparing a base fluid comprising a latex strength enhancer, a defoaming agent, a dispersant, and water; preparing a dry blend comprising slag and a hydroxyl source; and combining the base fluid and the dry blend to form the slag composition, wherein the hydroxyl source is present in an amount of about 1% to about 10% by weight of cementitious components present in the slag composition, wherein the latex strength enhancer is present in an amount of about 5% to about 20% by weight of the cementitious components present in the slag composition, wherein the water is present in an amount of about 40% to about 150% by weight of the cementitious components present in the slag composition, wherein the slag composition has a density of about 14 pounds per gallon to about 20 pounds per gallon, and wherein the latex strength enhancer increases the 24-hour compressive strength of the slag composition at 140° F. in an amount of about 25% or more.
