Kantro, D. L.

Potential alternatives to gypsum for controlling set in commercial cement, additives to deter sulfate-induced expansion, and the influence of clinker manufacture on expansion potential in cements were studied. If limitations on sulfate content were less restrictive, it would be possible to use kiln fuels with higher sulfur contents, and to employ energy efficient preheater kiln technology without risk of exceeding sulfate specifications.
