ABSTRACT The microstructure and chemical properties of industrial Portland cement clinkers have been examined by SEM and XRF methods to establish the nature of the clinkers and how variations in the clinker characteristics can be used to control the clinker quality. The clinker nodules were found to show differences in the chemical composition and microstructure between the inner and outer parts of the clinker nodules. Microstructure studies of industrial Portland cement clinker have shown that the outer part of the nodules are enriched in silicate more than the inner part. There is better crystallization and larger alite crystal 9ize in the outer part than in the inner part. The alite crystal size varied between 16.2-46.12um. The clinker chemical composition was found to affect the residual >45um, where a higher belite content causes an increase in the residual >45um in the cement product and will cause a decrease in the concrete strength of the cement product. The aluminate and ferrite crystals and the microcracks within the alite crystal are clear in some clinker only. The quality of the raw material preparation, burning and cooling stages can be controlled using the microstructure of the clinker product. INTRODUCTION Examination of manufactured industrial clinkers using the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) is usually conducted to study problems that can't be defined by the normal quality control procedures. Such a study can be used to give better information and knowledge about clinkers characteristics and how variations in the clinker characteristics are affected by variations in the various stages during the manufacturing process.

More than half of these emissions are due to the unavoidable release of carbon dioxide upon thermal decomposition of the main raw material limestone. Many different options for carbon capture are currently being investigated to lower emissions, and one potential route to facilitate carbon capture could be the implementation of an electrified separate calcination step. However, potential effects on the phase composition of cement clinker need to be investigated, which is the aim of the present study. Phases of special interest are alite, belite, aluminate, ferrite, calcite, and lime. The phase composition during clinker formation was examined through HT-XRD lab-scale experiments, allowing the phase transformations to be observed in situ. Two different methods of separate calcination were investigated, one method in which the raw meal was calcined separately, and one method where the limestone was calcined separately.

Received: 23 September 2020; Accepted: 6 November 2020; Published: 9 November 2020 Abstract: The aim of this work is to study the heat treatment effect, milling time effect and indirect mechanosynthesis effect on the structure of the mixture limestone/clay (kaolinite). Indirect mechanosynthesis is a process that combines between mechanical activation and heat treatment at 900 ◦C. XRD, TGA, FTIR and particle size distribution analysis and SEM micrograph are used in order to follow thermal properties and structural modification changes that occur. It is shown that the indirect mechanosynthesis process allows the formation of the equivalent clinker in powder with the main constituents of the clinker (Alite C3S, belite C2S, tricalcium aluminate C3A and tetracalcium aluminoferrite C4AF) at 900 ◦C, whereas, these constituents in the conventional clinker are obtained at 1450 ◦C. Keywords: cement clinker; clinkerization; indirect mechanosynthesis; nanostructured materials; crystalline structures 1. Introduction Portland cement is manufactured from raw material obtained by mixing and grinding limestone and minerals rich in silica and alumina (clay or kaolin) and other additives. This mixture is then calcined at 1450 ◦C to obtain the clinker. The clinker is finely crushed and blended with a source of sulfate (gypsum or anhydrite) and other minerals to form the cement [1]. However, the production of cement is responsible for high energy consumption.

  • Delayed Ettringite Formation
    Ettringite Formation and the Performance of Concrete In the mid-1990’s, several cases of premature deterioration of concrete pavements and precast members gained notoriety because of uncertainty over the cause of their distress. Because of the unexplained and complex nature of several of these cases, considerable debate and controversy have arisen in the research and consulting community. To a great extent, this has led to a misperception that the problems are more prevalent than actual case studies would indicate. However, irrespective of the fact that cases of premature deterioration are limited, it is essential to address those that have occurred and provide practical, technically sound solutions so that users can confidently specify concrete in their structures. Central to the debate has been the effect of a compound known as ettringite. The objectives of this paper are: Fig. 1. Portland cements are manufactured by a process that combines sources of lime (such as limestone), silica and • to define ettringite and its form and presence in concrete, alumina (such as clay), and iron oxide (such as iron ore).

  • Reactions Accompanying Stabilization of Clay with Cement A
    Reactions Accompanying Stabilization Of Clay with Cement A. HERZOG, Senior Lecturer in Civil Engineering, University of New South Wales, Newcastle, Australia, and J. K. :MITCHELL, Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering, and Assistant Research Engineer, Institute of Transportation and Traffic Engineering, University of California, Berkeley This paper reports the results of an investigation aimed at de­ lineating the nature of the reactions accompanying the stabili­ zation of clay with portland cement. Consideration of the nature of cement hydration, the physico-chemical character­ istics of clays and lime-clay interaction leads to the hypothesis that during the hydration of a clay-cement mixture, hydrolysis and hydration of cement could be regarded as primary reac­ tions which form usual cement hydration products, increase the pH, and liberate lime. The high pH and Ca(OHh concen­ tration could initiate attack of the clay particles and also cause breakdown of amorphous silica and alumina which then could combine with calcium to form secondary cementitious material. A clay-cement skeleton and a clay matrix are likely. Mechanical, X-ray diffraction, and chemical tests on kao­ linite and montmorillonite stabilized with portland cement and with pure tricalcium silicate (C3S), the major strength-producing compound in portland cement, gave results in agreement with this hypothesis. Compacted clay-cement mixtures were cured at 100 percent relative humidity and at 60 C (to accelerate hardening) and studied at different times after molding. X-ray analyses showed that calcium hydroxide was formed in hydrat­ ing clay-cement, but was rapidly used up in reaction with the clay. Minor alteration of the kaolinite-cement X-ray pattern and marked alteration of the montmorillonite-cement X-ray pattern were indicated after curing periods of 12 weeks, sug­ gesting clay mineral structure breakdown and/or interaction with cement at particle surfaces.

The paper deals with a formation of artificial rock (clinker). Temperature plays the capital role in the manufacturing process. So, itis useful to analyze a poor clinker to identify the different phases and defects associated with their crystallization. X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy was used to determine the clinker’s chemical composition. The amounts of the mineralogical phases are measured by quantitative XRD analysis (Rietveld). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to characterize the main phases of white Portland cement clinker and the defects associated with the formation of clinker mineral elements. The results of a study which focused on the identification of white clinker minerals and defects detected in these noncomplying clinkers such as fluctuation of the amount of the main phases (alite (C3S) and belite (C2S)), excess of the free lime, occurrence of C3S polymorphs, and occurrence of moderately-crystallized structures are presented in this paper.

  • Machine Learning Enables Prompt Prediction of Hydration Kinetics Of
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Machine learning enables prompt prediction of hydration kinetics of multicomponent cementitious systems Jonathan Lapeyre1, Taihao Han1, Brooke Wiles1, Hongyan Ma2, Jie Huang3, Gaurav Sant4 & Aditya Kumar1* Carbonaceous (e.g., limestone) and aluminosilicate (e.g., calcined clay) mineral additives are routinely used to partially replace ordinary portland cement in concrete to alleviate its energy impact and carbon footprint. These mineral additives—depending on their physicochemical characteristics—alter the hydration behavior of cement; which, in turn, afects the evolution of microstructure of concrete, as well as the development of its properties (e.g., compressive strength). Numerical, reaction- kinetics models—e.g., phase boundary nucleation-and-growth models; which are based partly on theoretically-derived kinetic mechanisms, and partly on assumptions—are unable to produce a priori prediction of hydration kinetics of cement; especially in multicomponent systems, wherein chemical interactions among cement, water, and mineral additives occur concurrently. This paper introduces a machine learning-based methodology to enable prompt and high-fdelity prediction of time-dependent hydration kinetics of cement, both in plain and multicomponent (e.g., binary; and ternary) systems, using the system’s physicochemical characteristics as inputs. Based on a database comprising hydration kinetics profles of 235 unique systems—encompassing 7 synthetic cements and three mineral additives with disparate physicochemical attributes—a random forests (RF) model was rigorously trained to establish the underlying composition-reactivity correlations. This training was subsequently leveraged by the RF model: to predict time-dependent hydration kinetics of cement in new, multicomponent systems; and to formulate optimal mixture designs that satisfy user-imposed kinetics criteria.

  • 2 Manufacture of Portland Cement Peter Del Strother
    2 Manufacture of Portland Cement Peter del Strother 2.1 RAW MATERIALS FOR CLINKER MANUFACTURE 2.1.1 Chemical Targets for Raw Meal Lime saturation factor (LSF) is a measure of the ratio of limestone to other recipe components, normally expressed as a percentage. LSF ¼ 100∗CaO=ðÞ2:8∗SiO2 +1:18∗Al2O3 +0:65∗Fe2O3 When clinker LSF is 100, the proportion of alite, the principal strength giving calcium silicate, is maximised. In practice clinker LSF is typically in the range 94–98. Clinker LSF depends on the raw meal LSF and the contribution of fuel ash, which is normally low LSF. Silica modulus (SM) and alumina modulus (AM) influence both clinker quality and burnability, the ease with which alite forms in the hottest part of the kiln, the ‘burning zone’. SM ¼ SiO2=ðÞAl2O3 +Fe2O3 AM ¼ Al2O3=Fe2O3 2.1.1.1 Quarried Raw Materials Limestone The fundamental requirement for clinker manufacture is a source of lime (CaO) and sources of silica, alumina and iron oxide. In almost all cases the lime comes primarily from limestone. Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed of the hard parts of once living organisms. If raw material limestone has a LSF of more than about 200 it should not be difficult to devise a recipe with LSF, SM and AM suitable for clinker production. If LSF in limestone is lower than about 200 it becomes harder to find suitable non- calcareous components. Limestone is rarely pure calcium carbonate; deposits often incorporate siliciclastic components, such as silt from rivers or even volcanic ash. Limestone may also contain compounds of zinc, lead and fluorine, for example.
