Study on Preparation of Low Heat High Belite Clinker from Waste Mortar and Its Modification

In order to realize low energy consumption in cement and the recycling of solid waste, the phase composition and structure of waste mortar used to prepare a high belite cement clinker, instead of some other raw materials, have here been investigated, and the belite was activated by doping with SO(3). The results show that a good high belite cement clinker can be obtained using waste mortar, limestone, coal gangue, iron powder, or iron correction raw materials combined at 1350 °C for half an hour. The addition of SO(3) greatly increased the strength of the clinker in the early phase, and overall, the ratio of calcium to silicon in belite became higher, and more Al(2)O(3) entered the belite; however, the generation of C(3)S was inhibited somewhat, and the content of C(4)AF also increased. This study offers guidance for the application of waste mortar and the activation of belite, which offers huge environmental and economic benefits.
