Keywords: Hydrating cement paste, Early stage of hydration, Concentration of free Ca²⁺ ions
 

Novel procedure to determine instantaneous concentrations of Ca²⁺ ions in hydrating cement paste is suggested. Using EDTA and following indirect Ca²⁺ determination titrated with Mg²⁺ ions in Schwarzenbach buffer medium allows to determine calcium ion concentrations for different times.
