Hello Michael,

The currently accepted hypothesis of the stabilisation of C2S by sulphur does not mean that no C3S can form at all. It simply means that the relative reactivity of C2S is reduced and therefore, statistically, less C3S is likely to form within the same timeframe.  Similar C2S stabilisation is seen with phosphorus and particularly boron.

Please understand that I have an open mind and if your work can be verified by other researchers, I will be the first to change my opinion.  In the meantime I wish you all the best with your research.

 

Regards,

Ted.

Thanks Tad !

Interesting interpretetion of the question. Look from the another  side. 

Usually making C2S stabilization to prevent polymorphic transformations at cooling, and you're talking about heating. No it's not researched. 

Probably take place  both mechanism.  And the stabilization of the C2S and the presence of a significant amount of low-active free lime.

I have to think about it. 

And as for the validation of research findings this is unlikely, since all the magazines where I asked for publication, I was denied. I don’t know for what reason.
