Abstract:Iron oxide was added to phosphoaluminate clinker and its effects on cement constituents were determined using XRD, DSC, SEM-EDS and conduction calorimetry analysis. The variations in compressive strength were also studied. The results showed that in moderate amounts, iron oxide acts as a mineraliser during clinker sintering, furthering the conversion of CA 1-Y (P Y ) to LHss at a lower temperature than normally required for that reaction. The main constituents of iron oxide-rich phosphoaluminate clinker includ… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
