Effect of Alkali Salts on the Hydration Process of Belite Clinker

Alternatively, belite cements containing alite-free clinker could be mixed with ordinary Portland clinker as a source of the required quantity of alite . The strength characteristics are also affected by additives in the raw meal, where the substitution of Ba 2+ for Ca 2+ ions [ 8 ], as well as suitable doping with combinations of sulfur and ...

Recovering of Clinker Minerals from Hydrated Portland Cement …

The change of the content of alite, belite and free lime with the burning temperature as determined by XRD is shown in Fig. 3. Belite and fee lime were formed in the process of C–S–H decomposition. It can be seen in Fig. 3 that alite starts to form after 1200 °C, at which point the amount of belite and free lime decreases correspondingly.

Hydration of clinkers doped with baryte with and without …

BaO prevents formation of alite or causes decomposition of alite to belite and free CaO. Decrease in alite was also reported by Katyal et al. who prepared pure alite with BaO. Up to 1.8% BaO in alite clinker, free CaO increases only in ca. 1:1 CaO/BaO molar ratio, Ba 2+ ions probably replace Ca 2+ ions. However, higher addition of BaO causes ...

Belite-Based Low-Carbon Clinker Cements – International …

such as belite-based low-carbon clinkers. with a belite content of more than 40%. Alite is the most important constituent of normal Portland cement (PC) clinker, mostly accounts for 50% to 70% of PC clinker mineralogical composition, while belite is generally 15% to 30%. However, a study into the development of belite-based alternative clinkers ...

Improving Concrete Sustainability

calcium silicates, alite reacts much more quickly than belite when mixed with water. Both alite and belite react to form calcium silicate hydrate (known in cement chemists' shorthand as C-S-H), which is the primary binding material in cement paste, mortar, and concrete. The total amount of alite and belite in cements has not changed ...

Morphological Analysis of White Cement Clinker Minerals

The growth of alite and belite crystals was observed in the melt phase (Figure 9) . This phenomenon is linked primarily to fluctuations in the temperature of the oven (low temperature ≈ 1200–1300°C). This poor crystallization is also evidenced by the appearance of rounded to subrounded shapes with diffuse boundaries between the phases.

Early hydration of C 2 S doped with combination of S and …

2.1 Materials. Belite clinkers, prepared by high-temperature solid state synthesis, were doped with S and combination of S and 2% or 4% of Li in form of CaSO 4 ·2H 2 O and LiCO 3. Pure compounds were used to prepare the clinkers. The composition of the raw meal constituents was calculated on the composition of belite.

An Ordered Alite Cement Clinker Phase (Ca

Calcium silicates are the main components in cement clinkers. Alite, the nesosilicate or island silicate Ca 3 SiO 5, also named C 3 S in cement chemistry notation, represents the main phase in Portland cement clinkers. Due to the metastability of Alite at room temperature, quenching from high temperatures is mandatory for phase …

Properties of Belite-Rich Cement with Supplementary …

Sulphur doped clinkers have an inverted belite to alite ratio, LSF, but are still relatively highly reactive during initial hydration and have decent initial strengths. M1 modifications of alite and reactive β belite are associated with these properties. The clinker is fired at 1350 °C and less pure limestone is required for its raw mix [10, 11].

Cement Kilns: Clinker Minerals

Clinker Phases. Portland cement clinker is a "phase assemblage" in which the main mineral crystalline species are: Alite - roughly Ca 3 SiO 5. Belite - roughly Ca 2 SiO 4. Tricalcium Aluminate - roughly Ca 3 Al 2 O 6. …

Alternative Clinker Technologies for Reducing Carbon …

Nevertheless, belite clinkers present a low early-age strength, due to their slower hydraulic kinetics. In fact, Kotsay et al., reported, that after 28 days, the degree of hydration of the belite can be four times lower compared to the alite phase and, only after one year of hardening the strength of alite and belite hydrates are comparable.

Scanning electron microscopy imaging of hydraulic

The 6.8% contrast between alite (Z =15.06) and belite (Z =14.56) is relatively strong; that between belite and cubic tricalcium aluminate (Z =14.34), at 1.5%, is generally too weak to distinguish these constituents. If the contrast between phases is so weak that it precludes discrimination, they are usually chemically distinct, and therefore X ...

Observation of phase transformations in cement during …

1. Introduction. Portland cement is widely used as a hydraulic binder in concrete. It is a heterogeneous fine grained material with four different major phases: alite (3CaO·SiO 2, C 3 S), belite (2CaO·SiO 2, C 2 S), celite (3CaO·Al 2 O 3, C 3 A) and brownmillerite (4CaO·Al 2 O 3 ·Fe 2 O 3, C 4 AF). It is known that belite and alite are …

Mechanisms of carbonation hydration hardening in Portland cements

The strong undersaturation leads to a fast dissolution rate of alite and belite [54], [55] and thus accelerates the reaction. The reaction of both calcium silicates is accelerated in the presence of CO 2, with belite reacting faster under the influence of CO 2 than alite. Similar results were reported in [27] using semi-quantitative methods ...

Production of α′H-belite-CSA cement at low firing …

Recent research has focused on shifting from alite to belite, which produces less CO 2 (0.511 gCO 2 /gC 2 S) [2].Belite-rich clinker/cement, can also be produced at lower firing temperatures, and produce a cement which may have a longer service life [3].However, the belite polymorph commonly present in OPC, β-belite, is less …
