Hydration processes of the rapid hardening cement clinkers, which were synthesized from domestic alunite for major alumina source, limestone, kaolin and fluorite, were investigated by means of x-ray diffraction analysis, thermal analysis and microscopic observation etc. The clinkers were composed mainly of alite, calcium fluroaluminate (C11A7.CaF2) minerals. While the hydratio processes of the clinkers are altered by concentration of SO3 in the paste, calcium aluminate hydrates such as C4AH13, CAH10 and calcium monosulfate hydrate (C3A.CaSO4.12H2O) are formed at first and then some of them are transformed into ettringite(C3A.3CaSO4.32H2O) within 30~60 min. when the concentration of SO3 in the paste are enough. However the formed ettringite are changed slowly into calcium monosulfate hydrate as the concentration of SO3 become lowered, and the paste is hardened with these close-packed minerals. When the content of SO3 in clinker is so enough, calcium sulfoaluminate hydrates are found without any addition of anhydrite or hemi-hydrite.

Effect of MgO, CaSO4, and CaF2 addition on the formation of clinker minerals in portland cement have been investigated by measuring the amounts of free-CaO and C3S in the fired specimens and analyzing the Mg and S concentration in C3S and C2S. It was found that CaSO4 inhibited C3S formation but MgO addition offset this effect of CaSO4. MgO addition also enhanced the mineralizing effect of CaSO4+CaF2, resulting in the acceleration of C3S formation. It was suggested that Mg might inhibit the formation of sulphate compounds rim around C2S and thus C2S+CaOlongrightarrowC3S reaction was facilitated.

The crystallization of melts with similar composition of Portland cement liquid containing 0-5% $K_2O$ was studied by differential thermal and isothermal reaction. The devitrification of melts was occured in stages, the recognizable amount of CaO was appered at the first step, then proto-C3A was crystallized. The latter showed to occur in both cubic C3A and Ca-ferrite crystallization. Batches lost remarkable amounts of $K_2O$ as a result of volatilization during melting and the solubility of $K_2O$ in the melts was unstable.

최근 온실가스 감축과 기후변화 그리고 녹색성장에 대한 관심증대와 더불어 시멘트 분야의 연구 생산분야는 천연자원 사용량을 줄이고, 소성공정을 도입하지 않은 새로운 개념의 무기바인더가 다시 고개를 들고 있다. 다른 용어로는 비소성, 무시멘트 등으로 표현되기도 하는데, 광의의 개념으로 보면 알칼리 활성화제를 사용한 비소성 무기결합재인 지오폴리머가 바로 그것이다. 지오폴리머 결합재는 1957년 우크라이나의 토목공학회에서 개발한 알칼리 활성 슬래그시멘트에 기원을 두고 있고, 1970년대 말 프랑스의 다비도비치에 의해 지오폴리머라는 용어가 처음 사용되기 시작했다. 알칼리 활성 무기결합재(Alkali-activated inorganic binder)의 정의이다. Alkali-activated inorganic binder는 원래는 결합능력이 없던 재료에 대해서 Alkali-activating 용액을 첨가했을 때, 시멘트처럼 결합능력을 가지게 되는 모든 종류의 결합시스템을 말한다. 국내에도 이미 2000년 초부터 지오폴리머의 개념을 도입한 제품이 상업화되어 오랫동안 품질검증을 거쳐 안정성이 확인되고 있다. 최근에 다시 전남대가 그 동안의 연구성과를 발 빠르게 중소기업에 기술 이전하여 소위 무시멘트 시대에 진입하는 분위기이다. 지난 9월 동아에스텍(주)과 조인트벤처 설립을 위해 손을 잡았고, 사업화가 곧 진행될 것으로 보인다. 이를 계기로 국내에도 무시멘트회사가 본격적으로 등장하게 된 것이다. 따라서 본 고는 무시멘트의 개념을 잘 표현한 문헌으로 일본콘크리트공학 연차논문집, 2010년 1월호를 번역 요약 발췌한 것이다.

Alnite clinker, which is based on CaO-SiO2-CaCl2 system, was synthesized by recycling Cl-containing waste, and its hydraulic properties were onvestigated. Alinite coinkers with two different chemical compositions were burned for 10∼30 minutes in the range of temperature, 1350∼1450$^{\circ}C$. The microstructures of those clinkers were characterized by powder X-ray diiffracuion analysis, optical microscope, and scanning electronic microscope and heat of hydration of alinite cements which was measured in order to investigate hydraulic properties. X-ray analysis shwoed that f-CaO in both clinkers with different compositions significantly was decreased with transforming C2S(belite) to C3S(alite). From the results of microscopy and scanning electron microscopy(SEM), crystal of synthesized alite(C3S) was larger and better crystallinity than that of ordinary portland cement.

Crack control is essential to increase the durability of concrete significantly. Healing of crack can be controlled by rehydration of unreacted clinkers at the crack surface. In this paper, by comparing the results of isothermal calorimetry test and regression analysis, the Parrot & Killoh's cement hydration model was verified and clink er hydration model was proposed. The composition and quantification of hydration products were simulated by combining kinematic hydration model and thermodynamic model. Hydration simulation was conducted using the verified and proposed hydration model, and the simulation was performed by the substitution rate of clink er. The type and quantity of the final hydration product and healing product were predicted and, in addition, the optimal cementitious material of self-healing concrete was selected using the proposed hydration model.

In these proceedings, we will address the problem of air pollution on the premises of the Cement factory SHARRCEM L.L.C. in Hani Elezit in the Republic of Kosovo respectively around the clinker cooler, rotary kiln, and raw material mill. By air pollution, we mean the introduction of chemicals, particles, or other harmful materials into the atmosphere which in one way or another causing damage to the development of plants and organisms. Air pollution occurs when certain substances are released into the air, which depending on the quantitative level, can be harmful to human health, animals, and the environment in general. The analysis of air shows the influence of the extractive and processing industry on the chemical composition of air. Parameters analyzed though under control such as the case of carbon dioxide, due to the increasing production capacity of cement, the production of hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of CO₂ gas made CO₂ production a concern. With the purchase of the latest technology by the SHARCEM Factory in Hani Elezit, the amount of air pollution has been reduced and the allowed parameters of environmental pollution have been kept under control. Air pollutants are introduced into the atmosphere from various sources which change the composition of the atmosphere and affect the biotic environment.The concentration of air pollutants depends not only on the quantities that are emitted from the sources of air pollution but also on the ability of the atmosphere to absorb or disperse these emissions. Sources of air pollutants include vehicles, industry, indoor sources, and natural resources. There are some natural pollutants, such as natural fog, particles from volcanic eruptions, pollen grains, bacteria, and so on.

Deterioration in durability of structures due to the steel corrosion is difficult to determine whether or not corrosion is initiated and how much propagated, and moreover, repair and maintenance are not easy to deal with. Therefore, preventive treatments can be the best option to avoid the deterioration. Various methods for preventing corrosion of steel, such as electrochemical treatments, anti-corrosion agents and steel surface coatings, are being developed, but economic and environmental aspects make it difficult to apply them to in-situ field. Thus, the purpose of this study was to improve corrosion resistance by using CA-based clinker that are relatively simple and expected to be economically profitable Existing CA-based clinkers had problems such as flash setting and low strength development during the initial hydration process, but in order to solve this problem, CA clinker with low initial reactivity were used as binder in this study. The cement paste used in the experiments was replaced with CA₂ clinker for 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% in OPC. And the mixture used in the chloride binding test for the extraction of water-soluble chloride was intermixed with Cl- 0.5%, 1%, 2%, and 3% by weight of binder content. To evaluate characteristic of hydration heat evolution, calorimetry analysis was performed and simultaneously chloride binding capacity and acid neutralization capacity were carried out. The identification of hydration products with curing ages was verified by X-ray diffraction analysis. The free chloride extraction test showed that the chlorine ion holding ability improved in order OC 10 > OC 30 > OC 20 > OC 0 and the pH drop resistance test showed that the resistance capability in pH 12 was OC 0 > OA 10 > OA 20 > OA 30. The XRD analyses showed that AFm phase, which can affect the ability to hold chlorine ions, tended to increase when CA₂ was mixed, and that in pH12 the content of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂), which indicates pH-low resistance, decreased as CA₂ was mixed

In this study, we have studied hydration properties and compressive strength of the electric arc furnace reduction slag as a cement admixture. The reduction slag is mainly consisted of 17.1% of f-CaO and rapid curing clinker minerals, 37.1% of $C_{11}A_7CaF_2$, and 21.0% of $C_3A$. When the substitution rate of the slag on OPC was 30%, the initial setting time and final setting time has been shortened from 305 min. and 425 min. to 10min. and 30min. When the substitution rate of the slag on OPC was 7%, the compressive strength of mixed cement mortars has been increased than that of OPC during all period. When the substitution rate of the slag on OPC was over 20%, the compressive strength of mortars has been reduced than that of OPC at initial and final compressive strength. As a result of hydration properties of reduction slag, $C_{11}A_7CaF_2$ transfer to $C_3AH_6$ but as the substitution rate of slag on OPC increases, increased f-CaO and the metastable hydrates $C_4AH_{13}$ increased. Therefore, we should control the substitution rate of the slag on OPC was under 7% in order to use EAF reduction slag as a cement admixture.

The feasibility of clean technology to minimize the $CO_2$ emission by recycling and reuse the waste materials and energy have been studied for the cement industry. A life cycle assessment (LCA) was performed for an alternative raw material-supply method to use the molted slag as the major raw material in the cement clinker manufacturing. Using this new method, a 60% of $CO_2$ could be reduced that comes out during the decarboxylation from the cement rotary kiln. The energy-efficiency improvement and the alternative energy methods that had been determined in our previous study through the environmental assessment of cement industry were applied to the study for the reduction of $CO_2$ emission. The natural gas, one of the fossil fuels, was also used as the first choice to get the result at the earliest time by the most economic and the most efficient green technology and to switch into the carbon neutral energy consumption pattern.
