The essential reactions in making Portland cement are the calcination of limestone to produce lime calcium oxide and the combination of this lime with silica to make belite and especially alite Importance of the liquid phase During clinkering the clinker contains solid phases and a liquid phase The bulk of the clinker remains as a solid

Clinker is produced by sintering limestone calcium carbonate and clay alumino silicate at elevated temperatures The production of clinker involves the feeding of the raw meal into the kiln where first the calcination of calcium carbonate takes place and then the resulting calcium oxide is burned at high temperatures together with silica alumina and ferrous oxide to form clinker

The secondary raw material studied here has a composition higher in SiO 2 than normal clinker therefore we can tentatively assume that the adverse effects of SO 4 2 addition could be balanced by the increase of SiO 2 component Alternatively part of the gypsum in the portland cement formulation can be substituted by limestone [64 65]

In those the whole charge was never properly burnt and a gang of men had to be employed on the clinker heaps to sort out the good clinker from the bad In cement one part of CaO could combine with of SiO2 but only with 1 of Al2O3 therefore a siliceous cement needed a much higher percentage of lime The old stationary kilns could not burn a highly siliceous cement but present day rotary
