Description
Summary:	Reactive belite cement based on clinker doped with sulfur is a new type of low-energy cement that is still in the laboratory testing phase. In terms of application, one of the desired properties of new cement is its well-defined rheological behavior in fresh state. The chemical composition of the belite cement was determined by wet chemistry analysis, the phase composition of the belite cement clinker by quantitative X-ray powder diffraction analysis and microscopic point counting and specific surface by Blaine method. Rheological properties were determined by rotational rheometer in flow and oscillation regime. Shear and time dependent rheological parameters were calculated from flow curves. Stability of belite cement paste was judged based on the critical strain determination in amplitude sweep test. Setting was evaluated by Tussenbrock needle penetration test and oscillation time test on rheometer. The properties of the laboratory belite cement were correlated to industrial cement CEM I, CEM II/A-LL and CEM III/A. Reactive belite cement pastes show good flow properties both due to small amount of alite and larger amount of rounded belite grains and clusters. Belite rich cement show decent stability comparable to CEM III and very good dispersing efficiency of PCE based HRWR.
