Abstract: The melting temperature, mineral phases, pulverization and alumina-leaching properties of clinkers were studied by using analytical reagent CaCO3, Al2O3 and SiO2 as raw materials. The molar ratio of CaO to Al2O3 is 1.0 and the mass ratio of Al2O3 to SiO2 is 3.0. The results showed that the melting temperature of the sample is 1392℃. The clinker sintered at 1350℃ is composed of CaAl2O4, Ca12Al14O33 and γ-Ca2SiO4, which has good pulverization property and alumina leaching rate of 93.37%. The materials melt locally and turn into heterogeneous phases at 1400℃, which blocks the elemental diffusion, results in non-homogeneous phases, and inhibits the conversion of β-Ca2SiO4 to γ-Ca2SiO4. The formation of Ca2Al2SiO7 and deterioration of pulverization property sintered at 1400℃ are the main reasons for the low alumina leaching rate of 74.50%. The clinker sintered at 1450℃ melts completely, which improves the pulverization property and the alumina leaching property of clinker.
