It has a layered geometry with calcium silicate sheet structure separated by an interlayer space. The silicates in C-S-H exist as dimers, pentamers and 3n-1 chain units [ 9 ] [ 10 ] (where n is an integer greater than 0) and calcium ions are found to connect these chains making the three dimensional nano structure as observed by dynamic nuclear ...
The hydrate is referred to as the calcium silicate hydrate – "C-S-H-" – phase. It grows as a mass of interlocking needles that provide the strength of the hydrated cement system. High alite reactivity is desirable in Portland cement manufacture, and this is achieved by retaining, as far as possible, high temperature polymorphs, in crystals ...
Calcium-silicate passive fire protection board being clad around steel structure in order to achieve a fire-resistance rating. Calcium silicate is commonly used as a safe alternative to asbestos for high-temperature insulation materials. Industrial-grade piping and equipment insulation is often fabricated from calcium silicate.
Tobermorite is a calcium silicate hydrate mineral with chemical formula: Ca 5 Si 6 O 16 (OH) 2 ·4H 2 O or Ca 5 Si 6 (O,OH) 18 ·5H 2 O. Two structural varieties are distinguished: tobermorite-11 Å and tobermorite-14 Å. Tobermorite occurs in hydrated cement paste and can be found in nature as an alteration mineral in metamorphosed limestone ...
Tacharanite is a calcium aluminium silicate hydrate (C-A-S-H) mineral of general chemical formula Ca 12 Al 2 Si 18 O 33 (OH) 36 with some resemblance to the calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) mineral tobermorite. It is often found in mineral assemblage with zeolites and other hydrated calcium silicates.
Jennite is often used in thermodynamical calculations to represent the pole of the less evolved calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H). The value of its atomic Ca/Si or molecular CaO/SiO 2 (C/S) ratio is 1.50 (9/6), as directly calculated from its elementary composition formula. Tobermorite represents the more evolved pole with a C/S ratio of 0.83 (5/6).
Calcium silicate hydrate: C-A-H: Phase more complex than C-S-H: Calcium aluminate hydrate C-A-S-H: This is even more complex than C-S-H and C-A-H: Calcium aluminate silicate hydrate AFt: C 6 A S 3 H 32, sometimes with substitution of Fe for Al, and/or CO 2− 3 for SO 2− 4: Calcium trisulfoaluminate hydrate, or ettringite: AFm
Scolecite is a tectosilicate mineral belonging to the zeolite group; it is a hydrated calcium silicate, CaAl 2 Si 3 O 10 ·3H 2 O. Only minor amounts of sodium and traces of potassium substitute for calcium. There is an absence of barium, strontium, iron and magnesium.
