Enhancing the addition of fly ash from thermal power plants in activated high belite sulfoaluminate cement

Research review of cement clinker chemistry

“…Especially the high temperature chemistry of clinker production [119,120] and the hydration of the BC$A and C$A cements [121][122][123] are the focus of research. But also the possibility to include fly ash into C$A cements in order to reduce CO 2 footprint has been evaluated [124,125].…”

Hydration properties of the alite–ye’elimite cement clinker synthesized by reformation

“…It is know to us that formation of AFt could cause expansion [34,40]. The established AFt contents is not enough to cause the cracking in the paste comparing to the large content of AFt in belite ye'elimite cement [10,11,34] or ye'elimite cement (higher ye'elimite amount) [40].…”

“…Incorporating ye'elimite into clinkers is able to enhance the early strength of finished cement. Many studies have explored the synthesis and hydration of sulphoaluminate belite/alite cements [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Recent research focused on the hydration of the ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and ye'elimite blends [12][13][14].…”

Alite-belite-ye'elimite cements: Effect of dopants on the clinker phase composition and properties

“…The addition of ZnO promotes the formation of higher amounts of alite, which contains this element in its structure; in addition, it also stimulates physical changes in alite crystals: big and hexagonal alite crystals are transformed into smaller and elongated particles [21]. The addition of other mineralizers, such as MnO 2 [22] or P 2 O 5 [23] on the phase composition during clinkering is also described in the literature.…”
