Formation, Characterization and SEM Microanalysis of Yeelimite

Yeelimite is one of the main components SulfoBelite (SB) and Calcium SulfoAluminate cements which are promising low carbon alternatives to Portland ones. In this study, stoichiometric yeelimite, obtained at different temperatures, was characterized by XRD, Q-XRD SEM-EDS. Additionally, mortars synthetic with without standard sand, were studied in terms development strength over time. The result that high yeelimite content samples prepared mixing quantities analytical-grade raw materials 1330 °C for 3 h soaking time, followed rapid cooling. Moreover, an increase formed results increased values meet requirements be classified CEM 32.5.
