Abstract
The article monitors the effect of length of grinding in the process of homogenization of raw material mixture and soaking on the number of monoclinic phases of alite M1 and M3 in the sample using the Rietveld method. The wet grinding process in the water environment in the planetary mill PULVERISETTE 6 was chosen for the preparation of raw material mixture. Based on previous research in this area, two firing temperatures 1450 and 1550 °C with soaking of 30, 60 and 90 minutes were selected. The results showed the monoclinic phase M1 is more readily formed during coarser grinding, during which large crystals of M1 are formed. On the contrary, the monoclinic phase M3 is formed at a higher firing temperature, at a larger amount nuclei and finer grinding. The results show that the grinding time has an important effect on the rate of formation of monoclinic phases.
