Abstract

This paper proposes a new chemical combustion method for the synthesis of nano-low-carbon belite cement via a simple one-step process without using any oxidizers, and related mechanisms are briefly introduced. The starting materials used, including micro-silica (silica fume) as a byproduct of the metallurgic industry and CaCO3 powders, are of great abundance, and the processing parameters involved were optimized using a series of systematic experiments based on X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the Rietveld fitting method. Besides, the properties of the synthesized belite cement were characterized by the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) technique and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Experimental results revealed that the optimized fuel agent was urea with a dosage of 4.902 times that of the starting materials by mass, and the corresponding holding temperature and time were 1150 °C and 2 h, respectively. In addition, the CaO/(SiO2 + CaO) for the starting materials should be set at 62.5% by mass ratio. BET and SEM results showed that the obtained belite cement had a specific surface area of 11.17 m2/g and a size of around 500 nm or even smaller in spherical shapes, suggesting that this method was successfully implemented. Thus, it can be a promising approach for the synthesis of nano-belite particles as a low-carbon construction material, which could be used more in the near future, such as for low-carbon concrete productions.
