摘要：It has been found that the addition of certain components, despite their low concentration in raw mix, may accelerate and enhance the reactivity of the cement raw mix. The utilization of mineralizers to facilitate and quicken the process of clinkerization backpedals numerous years, the concept of using such mineralizers to burn normal raw mixes at a much lower temperature with the end goal of decreasing the fuel necessities of the furnace and to enhance the cement proprieties has become to be seriously considered over the most recent couple of years.The subject of this paper is to investigate the impact of calcium fluoride as mineralizer on addition during the clinkerization process of industrial raw mixtures and its effect on chemical, mineralogical, and mechanical properties of CPA Moroccan cement. Five different raw meals were utilized and were burned with 2% of calcium fluoride. The resulting clinker was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and fluorescence spectroscopy to determine the chemical phases of the obtained clinker, and the mechanical properties of resulting CPA cement were determined. The results show that the addition of 2% of CaF2to the clinker raw meal induced a decrease in the burning temperature and free lime, while improving the clinker phase formation and the mechanical properties of obtained cement.
