Calcium silicate, also known as slag, is produced when molten iron is made from iron ore, silicon dioxide and calcium carbonate in a blast furnace. When this material is processed into a highly refined, re-purposed calcium silicate aggregate, it is used in the remediation of acid mine drainage (AMD) on active and passive mine sites. [ 13 ]
Thaumasite is a calcium silicate mineral, containing Si atoms in unusual octahedral configuration, with chemical formula Ca 3 Si(OH) 6 (C O 3)(SO 4)·12H 2 O, also sometimes more simply written as CaSiO 3 ·CaCO 3 ·CaSO 4 ·15H 2 O. It occurs as colorless to white prismatic hexagonal crystals, typically as acicular radiating groups. It also ...
Faujasite (FAU-type zeolite) is a mineral group in the zeolite family of silicate minerals.The group consists of faujasite-Na, faujasite-Mg and faujasite-Ca. They all share the same basic formula (Na 2,Ca,Mg) 3.5 [Al 7 Si 17 O 48]·32(H 2 O) by varying the amounts of sodium, magnesium and calcium. [1]
Ground granulated blast furnace slag is a latent hydraulic binder forming calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H) after contact with water. It is a strength-enhancing compound improving the durability of concrete. It is a component of metallurgic cement (CEM III in the European norm EN 197).
Cement hydration and strength development mainly depend on two silicate phases: tricalcium silicate (C 3 S) , and dicalcium silicate (C 2 S) . [1] Upon hydration, the main reaction products are calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H) and calcium hydroxide Ca(OH) 2, written as CH in the cement chemist notation. C-S-H is the phase playing the role of ...
Calcium ions then react with the soluble sodium silicate gel to convert it into solid calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H). The C-S-H forms a continuous poorly permeable coating at the external surface of the aggregate. The penetrated alkaline solution (NaOH / KOH) converts the remaining siliceous minerals into bulky soluble alkali silicate gel.
It has better pulpotomy outcomes than calcium hydroxide or formocresol, and may be the best known material, as of 2018 data. [1] For pulp capping, it has a success rate higher than calcium hydroxide, and indistinguishable from Biodentin. [2] MTA, when mixed with water, forms a calcium silicate hydrate gel which contains calcium hydroxide.
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
