Abstract

The suspension hydration of tricalcium silicate (water-solid 500) has been studied under both floating and fixed pH (8 to 12) conditions. In addition to solution analysis, the microstructure and chemical composition of the hydrate products was also studied. The results are interpreted as suggesting the existence of two C-S-H phases in the system CaO-SiO2-H2O, the stabilization of each being dependent on the pH of the solution phase.
