Hydrothermal studies showed the location of scawtite in the narrow internal tetrahedronfoshagite-xonotlite-CO2H2O of the system CaOSiO2CO2H2O and its compatibility with the calcium silicate hydrates in the 4-phase assemlages. The phase assemblages in this region involve scawtite, foshagite, xonotlite, tobermorite, hillebrandite, calcite and silica. The carbonation series of the 4-phase assemblages were determined in the sections C4S3CO2H2O (C4S3 = 4CaO · 3SiO2), C7S6CO2H2O and C6S6CO2H2O at 473 K and saturated steam pressure in dependence on the CO2 content. The carbonating influence of CO2 takes place in the volume of the CaOSiO2CO2H2O system up to the CO2 concentration limited by the calcite-silica-H2O triangle. Above this CO2 content, carbon dioxide appears in a gaseous form together with gaseous H2O in the 4-phase assemblage calcite-silica-CO2H2O. The instability of scawtite under the CO2 excess (CO2/C7S6 > 1) is influenced by its structural arrangement. The present channels enable penetration of CO2 molecules into the structure and formation of carbonated phases. |
