Abstract
Hydrating and calcining method combined with the kinetic equation were adopted to describe the hydration kinetics process of the laboratory-calcined CaO expansion clinker, XRD and SEM were used to test and analysis its mineral compo-sition and microstructure as well. The results show that, hydration reaction process in pure water of f-CaO contained in the CaO expansion clinker meets the Avrami isothermal crystallization kinetics model, and the hydration degree increases with temperature, with the relation between reaction rate constant and temperature conforming to Arrhenius law; the CaO expansion clinker powder contains a large number of particles in which f-CaO, CaSO4, Ca4Al6O12SO4(partly still containing calcium silicates) phases existing at the same time, by the impact of the presence of impurity phases and the difference of calcining conditions, the hydration activity of f-CaO contained in CaO expansion clinker was different from that of pure CaO and that of f-CaO wrapped in cement clinker or high-calcium fly ash.
