2.2 CASF System
All the cement clinker minerals belong to the CaO-SiO2-Al2O3Fe2O3 (CSAF) quarternary system..the most important clinker
minerals are the silicates C3S and C2S and these belong to the CaOSiO2 (CS) binary system.. that is a good place to begin our
exploration of the quaternary system.

Lime, CaO, and silica, SiO2, form four distinct compounds
together, in order of increasing CaO content these are:
