Abstract

The influence of CuO on the formation and coexistence of 3CaO·SiO2 and 3CaO·3Al2O3·CaSO4 minerals in Portland cement containing 3CaO·3Al2O3·CaSO4 mineral is reported in this paper. The results show that a suitable amount of CuO can lower the clinkering temperature and improve the burn-ability of clinkers. It can also promote the formation of 3CaO·SiO2 and 3CaO·3Al2O3·CaSO4 minerals and facilitate the coexistence of the two minerals in the clinkers. But adding 1% CuO to the raw material can cause the decomposition of 3CaO·3Al2O3·CaSO4.
