Abstract

The present invention relates to a composition including at least a Portland clinker and a Belite-Calcium-Sulphoaluminate-Ferrite clinker (BCSAF).

Claims (44)

1. A composition comprising at least, in % expressed by mass relative to the total mass of the composition

from 1 to 99% of a Portland clinker or Portland cement; and

from 99 to 1% of a Belite-Calcium-Sulphoaluminate-Ferrite clinker (BCSAF) comprising at least, in % expressed by mass relative to the total mass of BCSAF clinker

from 5 to 30%, of a calcium aluminoferrite phase of a composition corresponding to the general formula C 2 A X F (1-X ),

wherein X is from 0.2 to 0.8;

from 10 to 35%, of a calcium sulfoaluminate phase <<ye'elimite>> (C 4 A 3 $),

from 40 to 75% of belite phase (C 2 S),

from 0.01 to 10% of one or more minor phases selected from calcium sulphates, alkali sulphates, perovskite, gehlenite, free lime and periclase, and/or a vitreous phase,

and for which the total of the percentages of said phases is greater than or equal to 97%.

2. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the BCSAF clinker includes mineral phases that further comprise one or more secondary elements selected from the group consisting of magnesium, sodium, potassium, boron, phosphorus, zinc, manganese, titanium, fluorine, and chlorine.

3. The composition according to claim 1 , comprising 5 to 95% of a Portland clinker or a Portland cement, % by mass relative to the total mass of the composition.

4. The composition according to claim 1 , comprising 95 to 5% of a BCSAF clinker, % by mass relative to the total mass of the composition.

5. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the Belite-Calcium-Sulphoaluminate-Ferrite clinker (BCSAF) comprises at least, in % expressed by mass relative to the total mass of BCSAF clinker in the composition

from 10 to 25% of a calcium aluminoferrite phase of a composition corresponding to the general formula C 2 AxF( 1-X ), wherein X is from 0.2 to 0.8,

from 15 to 30% of a calcium sulfoaluminate phase <<ye'elimit>> (C 4 A 3 $),

from 45 to 70% of belite phase (C 2 S),

from 0.01 to 10% of one or more minor phases selected from calcium sulphates, alkali sulphates, perovskite, gehlenite, free lime and periclase, and/or a vitreous phase,

and for which the total of the percentages of said phases is greater than or equal to 97%.

6. The composition according to claim 1 , comprising, in % expressed by mass relative to the total mass of BCSAF clinker in the composition, the following secondary elements:

from 0.2 to 1.5% of sodium expressed as sodium oxide,

from 0.2 to 1.5% of potassium expressed as potassium oxide,

from 0.2 to 2% of boron expressed as boron oxide,

from 0 to 1% of fluoride plus chloride, or mixture thereof, expressed as calcium fluoride and calcium chloride.

7. The composition according to claim 1 , comprising, in % expressed by mass relative to the total mass of BCSAF clinker in the composition, the following secondary elements:

from 0.2 to 2% of boron expressed as boron oxide;

from 0.1 to 2% of potassium expressed as potassium oxide.

8. The composition according to claim 1 , comprising, in % expressed by mass relative to the total mass of BCSAF clinker in the composition, the following secondary elements:

from 0.2 to 2% of potassium expressed as potassium oxide;

from 0.5 to 4% of phosphorus expressed as phosphorus oxide (P 2 O 5 ).

9. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the Belite-Calcium-Sulphoaluminate-Ferrite clinker (BCSAF) does not comprise a mineralogical phase C 3 S.

10. The composition according to claim 3 , comprising 8 to 90% of a Portland clinker or a Portland cement, % by mass relative to the total mass of the, composition.

11. The composition according to claim 10 , comprising 10 to 85% of a Portland clinker or a Portland cement, % by mass relative to the total mass of the composition.

12. The composition according to claim 4 , comprising 92 to 10% of a BCSAF clinker, % by mass relative to the total mass of the composition.

13. The composition according to claim 12 , comprising 90 to 15% of a BCSAF clinker, % by mass relative to the total mass of the composition.

14. A process for the production of a composition according to claim 1 comprising mixing a Portland clinker or a Portland cement and a BCSAF clinker.

15. The process according to claim 14 , wherein the mixing comprises grinding, or homogenizing or both the Portland clinker or the Portland cement and the BCSAF clinker.

16. A cement comprising at least

a composition according to claim 1 ; and

from 1 to 40% of calcium sulphate, % by mass relative to the total mass of cement.

17. The cement according to claim 16 , further comprising 5 to 70% of mineral additions, % by mass relative to the total mass of cement.

18. A concrete comprising at least a cement according to claim 16 .

19. A process for the preparation of a concrete according to claim 18 , comprising mixing a cement with aggregates, water, optionally additives, and optionally mineral additions.

20. An element for the construction field made using with the concrete according to claim 18 .

21. An element for the construction field with the cement according to claim 16 .
