Grinding characteristics of multi-component cement-based material

Abstract

The grinding characteristics of two or multi-component material of clinker with limestone, blast furnace slag and fly ash were studied. Investigation was carried out on the particle size distribution, the Blaine fineness and the sieve residue of the separate and interground products. The relative contents of clinker and lime-stone in different size fractions of the interground product were examined, and the interaction of two components, which have different grindabilities, was analyzed. The results show there exists a selective grinding effect during intergrinding, one component can help or hinder the grinding of the other. Making good use of this interaction appropriately not only enhances the grindabilities of two or multi-component mixtures, which can promote the grinding process of clinker with industrial wastes, but also improves their particle size distribution and properties.
