Abstract:Shell based ecological composite white cement was prepared by sea shells, kaolin and gypsum, then the performance of the clinker and the physical and hydration property of the white cement were studied by XRD, SEM and physical examination. The results show that the 28d compressive strength and whiteness of the white cement prepared by 78%(by mass) shell and 22%(by mass) kaolin at 1350 ℃ for 40 min and after 1 min bleaching is 33.2 MPa and 79% respectively. There are alite, belite and a small quantity of C11A7·CaCl2 and Ca(OH)2 in the clinker. The white cement was prepared by adding 85%(by mass) home made active mixture to the clinker, whose whiteness, softening coefficient and 28 d compressive strength are 87%, 0.94 and 53.3 MPa respectively. The skeleton of the structure of the cement stone is constituted mainly by AFt with C S H gel filling the pores and Ca(OH)2 crystal interpenetrated, which forms a compact network system.
