Resumen

Con el objetivo de conseguir fabricar un clínker que permita reducir el consumo energético en su molienda, sin modificar sustancialmente el comportamiento del cemento con él fabricado, se ha desarrollado una metodología de caracterización basada en el método de Rietveld. De este estudio hemos deducido que uno de los factores que más influencia tienen en el consumo específico del molino de cemento es la fase C₃S_M₁, por lo que se va a tratar de potenciar su formación en el clínker controlando el contenido de MgO en la alimentación al horno y el módulo fundente en el clínker.
