Abstract


Iron oxide was added to phosphoaluminate clinker and its effects on cement constituents were determined using XRD, DSC, SEM-EDS and conduction calorimetry analysis. The variations in compressive strength were also studied. The results showed that in moderate amounts, iron oxide acts as a mineraliser during clinker sintering, furthering the conversion of CA1-Y(PY) to LHss at a lower temperature than normally required for that reaction. The main constituents of iron oxide-rich phosphoaluminate clinker included LHss, CA1-Y(PY), CP1-Z(AZ) and ferrite. The EDS findings showed that the composition of the ferrite phase was nonuniform. The conclusion drawn was that by modifying the dose of Fe2O3) , the composition of phosphoaluminate cement can be controlled to produce clinker and cement compliant with different mechanical strength requirements. The conduction calorimetry findings were consistent with those results.
