Development of magnesium silicate hydrate (M-S-H) cements from a low-purity magnesium oxide source

The performance of a low-purity magnesium oxide (magnesia) source for the synthesis of magnesium silicate hydrate (M-S-H) cements was evaluated. Magnesia-rich precursors were produced from a raw magnesite containing significant levels of impurities (e.g. silicon dioxide, aluminiu...
