Abstract
Mixes of CaCO3 and Al2O3 in the molar proportion of 3:1,1:1 and 1:2 respectively, were heated at different temperatures for various reaction times and the unreacted lime contents were determined. Phases formed in the reaction mixes have been studied by X-ray diffractograms of the partially reacted samples. Data show that lime is consumed in the three mixes before the equilibrium phase C3A, CA or CA2 is formed. The lime reactivity is in the sequence of CA2 < CA < C3A reaction mixes.*Keywords
