The System CaO-SiO2-H2O and the Hydration of the Calcium Silicates.

“…Roller and Ervin report that equilibrium appeared to be attained more rapidly when the solids had to lose CaO than when they had to gain it. Tavasci (168) held the same view. Kühl and Mann found, at 20°C., a very pronounced difference of this kind at the point where CaO/Si02 for the solid was unity.…”

“…Bessey (11) questioned whether curve 15 obtained by Tavasci represents equilibrium, since the methods used did not suffice to demonstrate equilibrium. Tavasci (168) defended his methods.…”
