All the samples were stabilized as T1 form C_3S. Changes in the crystal structure of C_3S could mainly be monitored by changes in lattice parameters, which were closely correlated with the incorporation concentration and substitution types of alkalis. Although alkalis were incorporated at trace level in C_3S, the thermoluminescence and hydration behavior of C_3S were significantly influenced. Initial hydration activity was dramatically increased and highly related to the intensity of the irradiation-induced thermoluminescence peaks at low temperatures due to their direct correlation with defects. The oxygen vacancy sites resulting from the substitution of alkalis for Ca could readily account for the acceleration of the initial hydration of C_3S.展开更多

The results indicated that the early hydration exothermic rate of C3S and C3A was obviously lowered by P205 and F- in phosphorous slag, the second peak occurring time of C3A was delayed by 0.9 h, the exothermal output of C3S was reduced by 25.04% and the time of accelerating stage was postponed by 0.86 h. The early hydration degree of C3S and C3A was also decreased. Due to the influence of P205 and F, more pores and thinner crystals can be observed in the microstructure of hardened paste and the chance of cracks was reduced.展开更多

Thef-CaO content, mineral composite and formation of mineral in the clinker were analyzed respectively by chemical analysis, differential scanning calorimetry（DSC） and X-ray diffraction. The results show that, adding a suitable amount of BaO can improve the burnability of raw meal and promote the f-CaO absorption. Tricalcium silicate and calcium sulphoaluminate minerals can form and coexist in clinkers at 1 234-1 317 ℃ by the addition of BaO to the raw meal. A suitable amount of BaO expanded the coexistence temperature of two minerals by 58 ℃.展开更多

It was discovered by means of X-ray diffrnction and high temperature microscope analysis that sintering temperature of the sample added with rare-earth and HX addition agent is about 1320℃. At the same time, the tmrning temperature of triealeium silicate desends and its crystal growth forming- rate increases.
