What is cement ? Answer (EN 197-1)
Cement is a hydraulic binder, i.e. a finely ground inorganic matter which mixed with water to cement paste solidifies by hydration and hardens to cement stone of a defined strength. The solidified cement remains dimensionally stable and maintains it strength also under water. Basic know how of clinker production Training PODFA November 2010 3

Clinker minerals Tricalciumsilicate, Alite C3S
C2S
Formation: Above 1250°C by a reaction of C2S and C Can be metastably by rapid cooling
Phases / Structure: Melts at 2070°C Decomposition at temperatures lower than 1250°C

Clinker minerals Tricalciumsilicate, Alite C3S
C2S
Properties: Highly hydraulic, high initial strength, good afterhardening, moderate setting heat, average tendency towards shrinkage
Smaller alite crystals are: More reactive, easier to grind
Size depends on: Amount and viscosity of melt Fine quartz and calcite favour small crystals Steep temperature profile, short retention time Amount of foreign atoms
C3S can incorporate up to 3% SO3( but lower hydraulicity) Basic know how of clinker production Training PODFA November 2010 6

Clinker minerals Dicalciumsilicate, Belite C3S
C2S
Properties: Slower hardening than alite, reduced setting heat. Same strength as alite in the long term. Takes up larger amounts of SO3 than alite - modification stabilized by alkali Normally only ß-modification found Very difficult to quantify by X-ray diffraction Hard to grind (harder than alite) Spherical crystal shape Basic know how of clinker production Training PODFA November 2010 8

Enters raw mix as: Impurity in iron ores, from residual minerals like ilmenite, rutile
Effect: Substitutes for Si, Al, Fe in clinker phases Reduces surface tension of the liquid phase, drop in viscosity Favourable for alite formation Gives darker colour to clinker Retards early hydration, slows down setting times 1% TiO2 can increase 3-90 day strength

From nearly all main components used especially dolomite (Ca, Mg)CO3, rarely magnesite silcates like diopsite, chlorites etc.
Role in burning process: MgO lowers viscosity of melt Favours mineral formation (increase for alite and C4AF, lowers C2S, C3A)
Effects: Some authors: up to 3% MgO can increase cement strength ? Creates defect lattices of alite and belite Gives darker cement color Approx. 2% can be incorporated in clinker phases Basic know how of clinker production Training PODFA November 2010 18
