The fine powder produced by heating and grinding of the waste concrete in the waste construction was investigated whether utilize as substitution raw material of SiO$_2$, CaO, and Al$_2$O$_3$ source for OPC clinker manufacture is possible or not. In order to synthesize OPC clinker, limestone, shale, converter slag and fly ash were used as main raw materials, and modulus was fixed LSF 91.0, SM 2.60, IM 1.60. The synthesized clinkers were characterized. The Main products of synthesized clinker were C$_3$S, ${\beta}$-C$_2$S, C$_3$A, C$_4$AF as OPC clinker at 1,43$^{\circ}C$. As a result of TG-DTA and burnability index(B.U) analysis of each raw mixtures, the formation temperature of clinker phases was similar and B.I was showed easy burning as 48.6∼51.4.

The world's cement demand is anticipated to increase about 2.558$\%$ every year until the first half of the 21st century. To be closed the increase of cenment damand and simultaneously comply with the Kyoto Protocal, cement that gives less carbon dioxide(Co2) discharge should be urgently developed. If cement can be manufactured with industrial byproducts such as granulated blast furnace slag(GBFS), phosphogypsum(PG), and waste lime(WL) instead of clinker as its counterproposal, there would be many advantages including maximum use of these industrial byproducts for high value-added resources, conservation of natural resources and energy by omitting the use of clinker, minimized environmental pollution problems caused by Co2 discharge and reduction of the cost. So this study aims to solve the problems by manufacturing non-sintered cement.

The purpose of this work is the comparative study for grinding of two cement clinkers. X-ray fluorescence, physical and granulometric tests and optical microscopy were used to characterize the clinkers. Also grinding tests were carried out for ten samples to determine the parameters influencing grindability of its clinkers. The results of calculation of the energies of grinding according to the law developed by Von Rittinger and the study of the microstructure of the two clinkers shows good agreements. Indeed, frequent clusters of belite which indicate a lack of uniformity and fineness have an effect on lowering the grindability. The obtained analyses and the results enabled us to interpret the granulometry and the microstructure of clinker to control quality and resistance.

In this study, to improve the early-age compressive strength of mortar, the compressive strength tests of mortar mixed smart BFS powder added powder of rapid setting additives milled by processing, using functional grinding aid, the power-typed rapid setting cement clinker developed by sintering industrial waste and by-products with much CaO-$SiO_2-Al_2O_3$ to cement were performed. From the tests, the followings are found that (1) for BFS early-age strength improvement test (Series I): early-age strength improvement of BFS mixed rapid setting additive milled after adding functional grinding aid, when the clinker is milled, is superior and (2) for OPC early-age strength improvement test (Series II): case of additive mixed rapid setting powder typed activator milled after adding functional grinding aid to Clinker-C showed the higher compressive strength.

Raw mateials such as limestone quartzite bauxite and anhydrite were used in the production of mod-ified beloite cement. Two kinds of clinker were synthesized with relatively higher content of $C_2S$ than that of $C_4A_3{\={S}}$ Concerning $C_2S$ the main mineral component borax ($Na_2O\;2B_2O_3\;10H_2O$) was added to stimu-late hydraulic reactivity and this would be possible by stabilizing ${\alpha}'-C_2S$ at room temperature. We had in-tended to compare burning and hydraulic characteristics of clinkers with one another by varying the amount of borax addition and to study the appropriate amount of anhydrite addition needed in the strengthening of cement during hydration. It was concluded that the effective amount of borax addition ne-eded for stabilization of ${\alpha}'-C_2S$ was 5 wt% in 60wt% $C_2S$ inclusive clinker and adding anhydrite in the ra-tio of 1.3 of $SO_3/Al_3O_3$ was appropriate in the production of cement by this clinker. Only ettringite was seen to contribute to the strength without additives but C-S-H was found to form along with ettringite with the addition of borax in the initial stage of hydration.

This study conducted to understand effects of CA (CaAl₂O₄) and CA₂ (CaAl₄O₇) ratio on chloride binding ability and compressive strength and pore structure of cement mortar incorporating mixture of CA and CA₂. The Portland cement based specimens were mixed with the clinkers CA and CA₂, and these calcium aluminate clinker mixture were replaced 0, 5, 10% by weight of cement. After all the test specimens were cured for 28 days under water curing, they were immersed in the distilled water and NaCl solution. As a result, 28 days compressive strength of all specimens was similar, and As the replacement ratio of calcium aluminate clinker in the specimen increased, Friedel's salt production tended to increase. However, it was dependent on the amount of Al₂O₃ in the level of 5% replacement and CA ratio in the level of 10% replacement. Through equilibrium isotherm result, it was also indicated that as replacement ratio of calcium aluminate clinker in cement matrix increased, chloride binding capacity was improved, and chloride penetration was suppressed. In this study, the specimen replaced with 10% of the calcium aluminate clinker mixture (CA 39%, CA₂ 60%) was remarkable to control chloride attack. We figured out necessity to understand optimal CA/CA₂ ratio to effectively apply CA₂ as a sustainable building material by improving the chloride binding ability in Portland cement based system.

For the raw materials of 3CaO$\cdot$3Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$ $\cdot$CaSO$_{4}$(CSA) clinker manufacturing, the applications of industrial wastes such as waste shell, spent oil-refining catalyst and desulfurized gypsum were examined. The c1inkerbility of the raw mix and the behaviour of formation of clinker minerals were studied and then some hydraulic properties of cements containing the clinker were also investigated. By virtue of the high reactivity of thermally decomposed raw materials, CSA clinkers were obtained at relatively low temperature of 1250$^{\circ}C$ and thus oil-refining catalysts were more desirable than aluminium hydroxide as an aluminous raw material. The expansive cement samples showed somewhat lower flow value than that of OPC, but their compressive strengths were developed earlier and higher than that of OPC due to formation of ettringite in the early hydration time, which indicated the possibility of practical use of low-cost CSA clinker using industrial wastes only.

The effect of calcite and gypsum on the hydration of Portland cement was investigated using GEM-PSI, a geochemical model. Addition of calcite and gypsum up to 5 wt% of total cement clinker into Portland cement was found to influence the hydrate assemblage of the hydrated cement in different ways. The results of geochemical modelling showed that the fraction of calcium monocarbonate increased by the hydration of cement with the increase of calcite addition. The results of modelling also indicated that gypsum increased the fraction of ettringite in the assemblage of hydrated cement as the amount of gypsum added increases. This study showed that porosity generated by the hydration of cement had a significant relation with the amount of calcite and gypsum added. The porosity of hydrated cement was lower when calcite added up to 3 wt% of cement clinker compared to the hydrated cement with the same amount of gypsum addition. However, when calcite added more than 3% of cement clinker, the porosity of hydrated cement were higher than that of hydrated cement with the same amount of gypsum addition.

In this investigation x-ray diffraction method was mainly studied for quantitative analysis of clinker mineral composition. And also optical microscopic observation and Bogue calculation method were applied to compare with the x-ray diffraction method. In the procedure of x-ray diffraction analysis graphite monochromator automatic divergence slit and spinner for sample holder were used for minimizing the error due to the operation of the equipment. Especially the separation of overlapped peaks were proceeded by micro-processor automatically. The results of x-ray diffraction method for synthesized clinker were consistent with the Bogue value and the results of optical microscopic observation. However the results of quantitative analysis of mineral composition or commercial clinker containing solid solution of minor component were different from the Bogue value. On the other hand they agreed reasonably well with results of the optical mic-roscopic observation.

It was found that the burnability of raw mix and characteristics of clinker was affected by the difference in grades of limestones. The thermal decomposition temperature of raw mix which used low grade limestone was lower than that of high grade, and the fast formation of $C_2S$ was due to the rich content of calcite and quartz over critical grain size, which caused the bad effects in the burnability, but $C_3S$ was formed slowly. The structure of clinker had many pores, and the growth of clinker minerals was inferior.
