Phase formation of CaAl2O4 from CaCO3–Al2O3 powder mixtures
Abstract
Calcium aluminate is the main constituent in calcium aluminate cements, used in a wide range of applications in construction and mining industries and recently also as biomedical implant. In applications that demand very precise reaction features, such as the biomedical ones, the phase purity is of very high importance.In this paper the formation of CaAl2O4 from CaCO3–Al2O3 powder mixtures has been studied, varying holding times between 1 and …
