Drs. Ftikos and Philippou have performed a very interesting study on the preparatior~ and hydration of C2S rich cements (1). The value of energy reduction in being able to lower the burning temperature from 1450"C to 1300 "C for belile rich cements is mentioned by the authors.

✦ Synopsis
Three laboratory clinkers were made with variable C2S content (28-57%), using industrial raw materials. These clinkers were cooled by air and studied by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). It is concluded that by fast cooling, the active crystal forms of u-and a'-C2S were stabilized in the rich C2S clinker. The hydration phenomena were also studied in cements prepared from these clinkers by DTA-TG and XRD, at 2, 7, 28 and 90 days. The combined water and the liberated Ca(0H)2 were quantitatively determined by means of thermogravimetry and the hydration rate was studied. It is concluded that the hydration rate differs at the early ages, but it progresses with the same rate after 28 days. No significant differences in the formed hydration products of these cements were observed by XRD.

The preparation method of 8-C2S without stabilizer, and their hydration characteristics were studied. 8-C2S is formed when y-C2S is heated at about 1000°C or about 1500\*C. The hydration kinetics of 8-CaS produced from ~'-CaS is markedly different from that from ephase. Ca(OH) 2 is hardly produced
This paper examines the early hydration of alkali-slag cements activated by different sodium compounds, such as NaOH, Na&O,, Na$iO,.SH,O, Na,PO.,, N%HPO, and NaF, at 25 and 50°C. A conduction calorimeter was used to monitor hydration kinetics. It was found that the initial pH of activator solution h
The effect of EDTA, a calcium chelating agent, on the early hydration of Portland cement, C3Sand B-C2S has been studied by solution analysis and electron microscopy. EDTA is a retarder of cement hydration. Under normal conditions of hydration, the silica levels in solution are very low (<0.05 raM) b
