✦ Synopsis

The influence of the presence of finely dispersed metallic particles on the mineral composition and microstructure of clinker minerals have been studied using chemical analysis and optical microscopy. The mineral composition to a great extent depends on the prevailing technological parameters: sintering temperature and concentration of Fe,O,. Abrasive slurry, containing finely dispersed metallic particles significantly influenced the mineral composition and microstructure of the cement minerals. The observed disintegration of the alite in general is attributed to the considerable increase in acidity of the liquid phase.
