Cement hydration
Hydration products. The products of the reaction between cement and water are termed "hydration products." In concrete (or mortar or other cementitious materials) there are typically four main types: Calcium silicate hydrate: this is the main reaction product and is the main source of concrete strength. It is often abbreviated, using cement chemists' notation, to "C-S-H," the …

Production of cement and its environmental impact
There are two aspects of cement production that result in emissions of CO 2. The first is the chemical reactions of raw meal in the kiln resulting in the production of the main component of cement, clinker, as carbonates (largely limestone, CaCO 3) are decomposed into CaO and CO 2 by the addition of heat.
