Abstract
Mixtures of different MgO/CaO and CaO/SiO2 were treated hydrothermally at 180 to 300 degrees C saturated water vapor pressures for 10h-3days . The results show that tobermorite coexists with Mg(OH)2 and xonotlit e phases at 180 degrees C, that xonotlite phase is coexistent with hyd rous magnesium silicate when Mg(OH)2 disappears at over 240 degrees C. MgO can enter 14.71wt.% into xonotlite phase, more than in tobermorit e phase. At the same time, the variation of lattice parameters in Mg-x onotlite phase is extremely small.
