Cement Chemist Notation
Cement chemist notation (CCN) was developed to simplify the formulas cement chemists use on a daily basis. It is a shorthand way of writing the chemical formula of oxides of calcium, silicon, and various metals. Abbreviations of oxides The main oxides present in cement (or in glass and ceramics) are abbreviated in the following way: Conversion of hydroxides in oxide and free water For the sake of mass balance calculations, hydroxides present in hydrated phases found in hardened cement paste, such as in portlandite, Ca(OH)2, must first be converted into oxide and water. To better understand the conversion process of hydroxide anions in oxide and water, it is necessary to consider the autoprotolysis of the hydroxyl anions; it implies a proton exchange between two OH−, like in a classical acid–base reaction: : + → + or also, :2 OH− → O2− + H2O For portlandite this gives thus the following mass balance: :Ca(OH)2 → CaO + H2O Thus portlandite can be written as Ca ...
