The Effect of Rice Husk on the Phase Formation and Cement Clinker Properties

Abstract

The features of the cement clinker when rice husk is used are investigated. The dependence of the raw mixture composition on the set product burning characteristics has been analysed using the software “CLINKER”. The mixture compositions have been identified on the basis of the chalk–clay–rice husk system, with the introduction of man-made stock of 6.0–18.0 mass %. The features of the phase composition and the binder properties, by varying the rice husk content, mixture ratio and burning temperature are shown.
