Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Characterization of Clinker’s Microstructure at Different Temperature Zone during Cement ProductionMohd Sobri Idris, Khairul Nizar Ismail, Shamsul Baharin Jamaludin et al.Temperature is an important parameter for transformation of minerals in clinker during cement productions. It influences the formation of alite from belite during calcinations and clinkering processes. The result of microstructure shows that the formation of belite minerals started at temperature nearly 1200°C which is at calcinations zone temperature, followed by formation of α±-belite at higher temperature (around 1300°C), then … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 7,502 accessesView PDFCite
