Thermodynamic analysis of cement clinker formation using low temperature plasma

Abstract

The paper deals with the synthesis of cement clinker using the highly-concentrated thermal flux. The thermodynamic analysis shows that during this synthesis, the temperature increase up to 2727°C (3000 K) is accompanied by the change in the probability of C3S, C2S, C3S2, CS formation. Starting from 1907°C (2180 K), the most stable compound is found to be C3S which is not feasible by applying the traditional technology.
