Abstract

Single phase, pure monocalcium aluminate (CaAl2O4) powders are chemically synthesized at temperatures as low as 900°C. The powders have a specific surface area of approximately 10 m2/g. The hydration kinetics of CaAl2O4 and the morphology of the hydrates are analyzed using electron microscopy techniques
