摘要
This article presents the thermal transitions of a tobermorite-bearing sample when heated from 30℃ up to 1200℃,both in vacuum and in static air,including tobermorite transforming to wollastonite,aragonite to calcite and calcite to lime.Characteristics obtained by in situ high temperature X-ray diffraction,field emission scanning electron microscopy and scanning transmission electron microscopy analyses jointly indicate that the investigated tobermorite is anomalous.The variations along the a,b,c axes and the volume changes of tobermorite with increasing temperature are described,and its thermal shrinkage coefficients therefore determined.The comparison between the refined structures at 30℃ and 800℃ demonstrates that the shrinkage degree(Δa/a0)along the a axis is higher than those(Δb/b0,Δc/c0)along the b and c axes.The wollastonite is formed in two ways:Tobermorite converting to wollastonite and lime reacting with quartz to form wollastonite.
