any acid dosed at 0.1 %bwoc. Consequently, we investigated the influence of the sodium salts (i.e., tri-sodium citrate, di-sodium tartrate, and di-sodium succinate) (Figure ). The initial dissolution rate for sodium tartrate and succinate is reduced to the reference level within error in the presence of tartrate and succinate. The dissolution rate in the presence of citrate is also significantly reduced compared to citric acid but still shows a faster (×2.1) initial dissolution of C 3 S than the reference.
