Abstract:In the cement industry clinker, a synthetic material obtained from clay and limestone, is the result of a complex industrial process. The nature of the resulting phases and their relative proportions in the clinker are essential elements for a clear understanding of its chemical and mechanical properties. Selective dissolution methods enable the mineralogical phases to be isolated. They are analysed by diffraction and the measurement of the relative areas of the characterstic peaks of the phases of the clinker… 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.
