Cement chemist notation

Main Phases in Portland Cement Before and After Hydration: Oxides used to build complex compounds Main crystalline phases related to clinker and nonhydrated Portland cement Crystalline phases of Portland cement known as AF Phase composition quantified through Bogue formula Addition of calcium sulfate and limestone filler in cement preparation Hydrated Cement Paste: Hydration products in hardened cement pastes (HCPs) Examples of hydration products like calcium hydroxide and CSH Application of cement chemist notation to silicate mineralogy Comparison of belite hydration and forsterite serpentinisation Benefits of using cement chemist notation in mineralogical works See Also: Hydration of belite in cement analogous to forsterite hydration Hydration reaction of forsterite (olivine) in serpentinisation References: Friedrich W.
