Influence of CaF2 on the Formation Kinetics of Belite-Calcium Barium Sulphoaluminate Cement Clinker

This paper studies the formation dynamics of belite-calcium barium sulphoaluminate cement clinker with and without CaF2. The results suggest that, under the condition of the experimental preparation process, the formation process of belite-calcium barium sulphoaluminate cement clinker is controlled by diffusion mechanism in the temperature range of 1250-1380¡æ and the formation dynamics fits nicely with D4̍́˽̂ځ˿̃˽˸́˽ځ˹2/3=kt. Apparent activation energy was calculated to be 250 kJ·mol-1and 195 kJ·mol-1 for sample clinker without and with 0.6% CaF2 content. It is concluded that CaF2 contributes a lot to the reduction in energy consumption during the process of sintering belite-calcium barium sulphoaluminate cement clinker.
