Abstract

In order to expand the advantages of strong durability and high compressive strength of calcium silicate hydrates(C-S-H), at the same time to make up for the poor early mechanical strength of magnesium silicate hydrates (M-S-H), we present the features and advantages of C-S-H and M-S-H and a comprehensive review of the progress on CaO-MgO-SiO2-H2O. Moreover, we systematically describe natural calcium and magnesium silicate minerals and thermodynamic properties of CaO-MgO-SiO2-H2O. The effect of magnesium on C-S-H and calcium on M-S-H is summarized deeply; the formation and structural feature of CaO-MgO-SiO2-H2O is also explained in detail. Finally, the development of calcium and magnesium silicate hydrates in the future is pointed out, and the further research is discussed and estimated.
