It was expected that the high-temperature stability, that is therm ostability, of 12CaO·7Al
2O
3 solid solution depended on the anions substituted in its crystal structure. The chemical formula of 12CaO·7Al
2O
3 solid solution corresponds to 11CaO·7Al
2O
3·CaX
2, where X is hydroxyl group or halogen. In the present report, we compared the system 12CaO·7Al
2O
3-CaSO
4 with the system 12CaO·7Al
2O
3.CaF
2-CaSO
4 and discussed the effect of CaSO
4·H
2O on the thermostability of 12CaO·7Al
2O
3 solid solution.
Before burning, 12CaO·7Al
2O
3 or 11CaO·7Al
2O
3·CaF
2 was well mixed together with CaSO
4·2H
2O. Burned products were examined by X-ray powder diffraction with a Geiger counter diffractometer. Some of the samples were also analyzed chemically for total F, SO
3 and free CaO.
It was confirmed that 4CaO·3Al
2O
3. SO
3 was formed by reaction between 12CaO·7Al
2O
3 or 11CaO·7Al
2O
3·CaF
2 and CaSO
4. It appeared at 1000°C in the former system and at 1100°C in the latter system. These suggested that 11CaO·7Al
2O
3.CaF
2 was more thermostable than 12CaO·7Al
2O
3 in the presence of CaSO
4. After the fluorination, 11CaO·7Al
2O
3·CaF
2 reacted with CaSO
4 to form 4CaO·3Al
2O
3·SO
3. Subsequently as the burning temperature was raised, 4CaO·3Al
2O
3. SO
3 was decomposed with liberation of SO
3 and to form calcium aluminates based on the system CaO-Al
2O
3. Addition of CaO or CaF
2 to 4CaO·3Al
2O
3-SO
3 lowered its decomposition temperature.
