Abstract

Two clinker raw mixtures (83 wt% limestone +12 wt% clay +5 wt% α-Fe2O3) were fired at 1150°C for three hours in open furnace, each with 100 wt%-in addition-of an alkali carbonate (Na2CO3 and K2CO3) respectively. Each produced cliker was mixed with 5 wt% natural gypsum to produce portland cement, then with 25 wt% tap water. Compressive strength, ultrasonic pulse test, X-ray diffraction and Mossbauer effect measurements were carried out each at different times of hydration (21, 28 and 45 days). The effect of alkali ions on the strength development of cement pastes is discussed, the accuracy of Mössbauer, spectrometer in determining the cement strength is demonstrated.
