The emission from the raw material and fuel was compared in the case of belite and alite clinkers. Methods of increasing the hydraulic activity of belite are presented. CO2 emis-sions were also compared for Portland and belite-sulphoaluminate clinker, containing more than 50% belite. It has been shown that increasing the belite content in Portland clinker can reduce CO2emissions by about 10%. On the other hand, CO2 emission in the case of belite-sulphoaluminate clinker, containing 50% C2S and 30% C4A3S̅, is lower than this emission by about 30%.Read More
