Abstract:The influence of highsilicon limestone on mineral structure and performance of belitebarium calcium sulphoaluminate cement clinker were investigated by thermal analysis, petrographic analysis, Xray diffraction and scanning electron microscopyenergy dispersive spectroscopy. The results show that highsilicon limestone has low decomposition temperature, which can promote the development of C3S by adding small quantity. The formation and development of C3S is hindered by αquartz while C3S is formed easily by mixing magnesite and dolomite in highsilicon limestone at low temperature. When mass proportions of highsilicon limestone and ordinary limestone is 1.0︰5.0, the compressive strength of this cement at 3, 7, 28 d is 37.9, 60.3, 87.9 MPa respectively, which shows excellent improvement of mechanical properties.
