Description
Summary:In this paper, analytically pure chemical reagents, as raw materials, were fired in barium calcium sulfoaluminate cement clinker. The effect of the iron phase on the calcination of barium calcium sulfoaluminate cement clinker was studied. The content of f-CaO in the sample was determined using the ethylene glycol method. The raw meal’s heat absorption and heat release were tested with an integrated thermal analyzer TG-DSC, and XRD and SEM measurements were used to characterize the composition and microstructure of the clinker. The results showed that the iron phase could lower the decomposition temperature of the calcium carbonate. When the calcination temperature increased, the lattice spacing of the mineral changed. The XRD pattern showed that a substitution reaction had occurred. Ba<sup>2+</sup> replaced Ca<sup>2+</sup> and formed a sulfoaluminate barium calcium mineral. The SEM images showed hexagonal plates or dodecahedral barium calcium sulfoaluminate minerals.
