Abstract
The present invention relates to a ternesite calcium sulfoaluminate clinker as well as a ternesite clinker containing 20 to 100% by weight of C5S2$ and less than 15% by weight of C4A3$, as well as the use of ternesite as an additive to calcium sulfoaluminate (ferrite) (belite) (CSA(F)(B)) clinker, calcium sulfoaluminate (ferrite) (belite) cement, and calcium sulfoaluminate (ferrite) (belite) binder containing 10 to 90% by weight of CSA(F)(B) and 90 to 10% by weight of ternesite.

A ternesite calcium sulfoaluminate clinker or cement obtained by sintering a raw meal mixture, which contains sources for CaO, Al2O3(Fe2O3), SiO2, and SO3,
- wherein the raw meal mixture is sintered in a temperature range of >1200° C. to 1350° C. over a period of time sufficient to convert the raw meal mixture into a clinker intermediate product,
- wherein the clinker intermediate product is tempered in a temperature range of 1200° C. to a lower limit of 750° C. over a period of time sufficient to obtain 5-75 wt % of C5S2$ and to convert an amount of aluminate and ferrate phases and residues of crystalline high-temperature phases of the raw meal mixture with remaining C$ into additional C4(AxF1-x)3$ and C5S2$, and
- wherein the clinker comprises main components comprising C4(AxF1-x)3$, (α;
- β) C2S, C5S2$ in the following proportions
- C5S2$
- 5 to 75 wt %
- C2S
- 1 to 80 wt %
- C4(AxF1−x)3$
- 5 to 70 wt %
- secondary phases
- 0 to 30 wt %,
- wherein x is a number from 0.1 to 1, and wherein the clinker is cooled.
A ternesite clinker or cement, obtained by sintering a raw meal mixture, which contains at least sources for CaO, SiO2 and SO3, wherein temperature during sintering is set in a range of 900 to 1300° C. such that the ternesite clinker has a content of C5S2$ in the range of 20 to 95% by weight and a content of C4(AxF1-x)3$ below 15% by weight, in each case based on the total weight of the clinker, containing 20 to 95% by weight of the clinker phase C5S2$ and the further clinker phases (α;
- β) C2S, C4(AxF(1-x))3$, where x is from 0.1 to 1.0, C2(AyF(1-y)), where y is from 0.2 to 0.8, reactive aluminates, periclase (M), and secondary phases in the following proportions:
- (α, β) C2S
- 0 to 80%
- by weight
- C4(AxF(1−x))3$
- 0 to <15%
- by weight
- C2(AyF(1−y))
- 0 to 30%
- by weight
- reactive aluminates
- 0 to 20%
- by weight
- periclase (M)
- 0 to 25%
- by weight
- secondary phases
- 0 to 30%
- by weight,
- wherein the proportions of the clinker phases add up to 100%.
