Conclusions
The hydration activity of the periclase powders depends to a significant extent on the hydration of free calcium oxide. The hydration resistance of the powders can be increased by fixing calcium oxide in the hydration-resistant compounds with silicon and magnesium oxides.
It is also necessary to decrease the specific surface of the periclase powders for decreasing their ability to absorb moisture.
