calciumsiliconoxygen
Calciumsiliconoxygen is a term used to describe compounds and phases that contain calcium, silicon, and oxygen in varying ratios. It is not a single chemical with a fixed formula, but rather a broad chemical system that includes natural minerals, synthetic ceramics, and cementitious materials.
In nature, the best-known calcium silicate mineral is wollastonite, with the formula CaSiO3. Wollastonite occurs in
In materials science, calcium silicate phases are central to cement chemistry and to inorganic ceramics. In
Structure and properties of calcium silicate materials range from crystalline minerals with well-defined tetrahedral SiO4 units
