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 non-hydrated 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 C-S-H
– 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
