The Effect of Grinding Aids on Grinding Portland Cement with High Proportions of Slag

Abstract

The paper brings information on grinding cement with high proportions of slag in the presence of amine alcohols grinding aids. Grind respectively blended cement with 20%, 50%, and 80% granulated blast furnace slag and analyse the evolution of the specific surface area at various grinding times and grindability. Results show that the specific surface area of belended cement depends on the content of slag and the type and ratio of grinding aid, and grindalility of the cement is also affected by grinding aids.
