Abstract:Belite silicate cement was prepared by partially replacing high-quality limestone with low-grade limestone.The high-temperature,high-activity crystalline form of the belite mineral phase in cement clinker was stabilized by ionic doping modi-fication.The composition of the cement mineral phase was analyzed using the X-ray diffraction(XRD)-Rietveld refinement method,and studying the hydration products and compressive strength of the cement.The results showed that the decomposition temperature of low-grade limestone is lower than that of high-quality limestone.Belite silicate cement prepared with a ratio of 1∶2 between low-grade and high-quality limestone,with clinker mineral phases of C3S,C2S,C3A,and C4AF,and f-CaO content ranging from 0.8%to 1.2%;Doping BaCO3,B2O3,MnO,and P2O5 all have a certain activating effect on C2S,which can promote the formation of α-C2S and improve hydration activity.When 0.6%B2O3 is added,the activation effect is better.The compressive strength of cement doped with 2.5%BaCO3 at 3 and 28 days increased by 12.3 and 8.7 MPa,respectively,compared to the control group without ion dop-ing;The development of mechanical strength is promoted by the ettringite(AFt)and hydrated calcium silicate(C-S-H)gel gener-ated from the hydration of Belite Portland cement.
