Abstract:
Studies of the character and rate of hydration of tri- calcium aluminate in water and various salt solutions principally calcium chloride and sulfate* and determi- nation of the rate of hydration of tricalcium aluminate in water alone and with calcium chloride and sulfate admixed. The character of hydration was observed microscopically and the products of hydration identified by their optical pro cluded. The Hubbe l erties. Photomlcrographs are in- method for determination of the rate of hydration is explained.
