  2. Calcium silicate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_silicate

    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.

  3. Sulfate attack in concrete and mortar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfate_attack_in_concrete...

    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 ...

  4. Concrete degradation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_degradation

    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.

  5. Environmental impact of concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of...

    A solution of water and CO 2 penetrates the particles, reacting in ambient conditions to form a bond which creates reduced-lime, non-hydraulic calcium silicate cement (CSC). The difference between traditional Portland concrete and these carbonated calcium silicate concrete (CSC-C) lies in the final curing process reaction between a water-CO 2 ...

  6. Alkali–silica reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkali–silica_reaction

    The main phases are the calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H) (the "glue" in cement paste), calcium sulfo-aluminate phases (AFm and AFt, ettringite) and hydrogarnet. C-S-H phases are less soluble (~ 10 −5 M) than portlandite (CH) (~ 2.2 10 −2 M at 25 °C) and therefore are expected to play a negligible role for the calcium ions release.

    As children in particular run a high risk of choking, the doctor advised parents and guardians to be careful with foods like popcorn, nuts, grapes, hot dogs and hard candy.

  9. Anticaking agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anticaking_agent

    Calcium silicate (CaSiO 3), a commonly used anti-caking agent, added to e.g. table salt, absorbs both water and oil. Anticaking agents are also used in non-food items such as road salt , [ 3 ] fertilisers , [ 4 ] cosmetics , [ 5 ] [ 6 ] and detergents .
