Preparation of super composite cement with a lower clinker content and a larger amount of industrial wastes

Abstract

The effects of the grinding mode, fineness, gypsum kinds and dosage, mix proportions on properties of the composite cements consisting of slag, fly ash, limestone and a lower content clinker were investigated, respectively. The results show that when the proportions among slag, fly ash and limestone are appropriate, the grinding technology and system are reasonable, the optimized gypsums and additives are effective, the 52.5R grade cement (52.5R grade cement means a higher strength than 52.5 at early age) can be prepared by clinker dosage of 50% in weight, the 42.5R or 42.5, 32.5 grade composite cement containing 40% and 30% clinker also may be made, respectively. Moreover, the high performance concrete prepared from the above composite cements was studied experimentally.
