The Influence of Surfactants on the Physical Properties of Clinkers
The influence of three types of surfactants on the following clinker properties: specific surface area, sorption behavior (hygroscopicity), water repellency, and flowability has been studied. Experimental results show that the surfactants have different influence on the grinding kinetics and properties of clinkers that mainly depend on the surfactants concentration than their origin or state of matter. Use of special surfactants as grinding aids is proposed.
