Calcium aluminates phase diagram Crystal structure of dodecacalcium hepta-aluminate, 12CaO·7Al 2 O 3 (C 12 A 7). [1] Calcium aluminates are a range of materials [2] obtained by heating calcium oxide and aluminium oxide together at high temperatures. They are encountered in the manufacture of refractories and cements.

AFm form inter alia when tricalcium aluminate 3CaO·Al 2 O 3, or C 3 A in CCN, reacts with dissolved calcium sulfate (CaSO 4), or calcium carbonate (CaCO 3). As the sulfate form is the dominant one in AFm phases in the hardened cement paste (HCP) in concrete, AFm is often simply referred to as Aluminate Ferrite monosulfate or calcium aluminate ...
Calcium aluminates can form complex salts in combination with different types of anions.Two series of calcium aluminates are known in cement chemistry: AFm and AFt phases, being respectively mono- or tri-substituted with a given divalent anion X (e.g. SO 2− 4, CO 2− 3, or hosting a divalent impurity such as SeO 2− 4 [3]...), or with two units of a monovalent anion, e.g. OH −, Cl − ...
The hydration reactions of calcium aluminate cements are very complex. The strength-developing phases are monocalcium aluminate (CA), dodeca-calcium hepta-aluminate (C 12 A 7), and belite (C 2 S), a dicalcium silicate. Calcium aluminoferrite (C 4 AF), monocalcium dialuminate (CA 2), gehlenite, and pleochroite contribute little to the concrete ...
Dodecacalcium hepta-aluminate (12CaO·7Al 2 O 3, Ca 12 Al 14 O 33 or C 12 A 7) is an inorganic solid that occurs rarely in nature as the mineral mayenite. It is an important phase in calcium aluminate cements and is an intermediate in the manufacture of Portland cement. Its composition and properties have been the subject of much debate ...
Tricalcium aluminate Ca 3 Al 2 O 6, often formulated as 3CaO·Al 2 O 3 to highlight the proportions of the oxides from which it is made, is the most basic of the calcium aluminates. It does not occur in nature, but is an important mineral phase in Portland cement .
Monocalcium aluminate (CaAl 2 O 4) is one of the series of calcium aluminates. [1] It does occur in nature, although only very rarely, as two polymorphs known as krotite and dmitryivanovite, both from meteorites. [2] [3] It is important in the composition of calcium aluminate cements.
