Abstract
Densilication of MgO and its mixes with dicalcium silicate has
been studied at 1300°, 1350° and 1400°C temperatures. Five and
ten percent by weight of dicalcium silicate were mixed with magnesium
oxide and pressed in the form of pellets of 12 mm diameter.
The pellets were fired at different temperatures and their
bulk densities were determined. The density of MgO and also
the mixes increased with the increase in the firing temperature.
It was observed that the bulk density of the pellets decreases
with the increase in dicalcium silicate in the mixes fired at each
temperature while the calculated relative density increased with
the increase in dicalcium silicate content.
