Waste fuels: their effect on Portland cement clinker

The fusion temperature of the mixtures, the differential thermal analysis and the thermogravimetric analysis (DTA/TG) during clinkering and after hydration, the specific surface area at the same milling times, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and mechanical strength of the pastes elaborated with a water/cement 0.4 relation were analyzed. The results obtained were compared to those of the clinker obtained without additions.
