Mineralogical Composition of Clay and Properties of Cement

Abstract

The influence of the mineralogical composition of the raw material mixture on the phase formation and properties of low-temperature fired cement (≤ 1200 ºС) was studied. Computer calculations of the composition of raw mixtures were carried out and the dependence of the possible concentration of clay component varieties on the given characteristics of cement was shown. The peculiarities of phase formation during firing and the properties of the binding material were revealed.
