4 3 2 Quantitative determination of phase composition Using a suitably prepared polished section point counting with a crosswire and steps of a fixed size in a grid pattern is employed with each field examined in the optical microscope The phase observed at each step is noted and some 2000–4000 counts are made per clinker specimen
The specimen is viewed under the microscope with typical magnifiions 100400 Many of the minerals present can be identified visually The micrograph image as well as confirming – as it must – the overall chemistry of the clinker yields information on the homogeneity of the chemical system and gives clues as to the thermal regime to which it has been subjected
In clinker CK3 the SEM study shows little ferrite phase which is normally observed to be finely intermixed with the aluminate phase and is coherent with the XRD Rietveld analysis The ferrite phase observed appears with a submicron crystal size which prevented microanalysis
Alite C3S the alite crystal is the preferred clinker phase in Portland cement clinker The formation of alite is very complex Alite is only formed in the presence of excess CaO that is at CaO SiO 2 gt 1 and is thermodynamically stable above 1250 176C This mineral is found in all the samples in a distinctive crystalline form Figure 5
Our developing understanding of the phase composition of clinker coincides with the early days of the polarized light microscope where the thennew instrument was used to resolve conflicting theories on the phase constituents of cement clinker essentially a manmade rock formed through sintering a ground blended mixture of limestone clay

The X ray powder analysis of Portland clinker showed besides the main phase of alite C 3S presence of the phases such as belite βC 2S tricalcium aluminate C 3A and calcium aluminoferrite phase corresponding to the structure of C 4AF type The determined phase composition of Portland clinker by XRD is agreeable with the
Formation of the primary clinker phases alite belite tricalcium aluminate ferrite during this time depends on the pyroprocessing conditions and material properties At the same time in the kiln clinker nodules are formed by agglomeration due to capillary forces of the liquid The microscope is used to observe features such as clinker
The results of interstitial phase morphology variations of two clinkers with respect to their porosity differences are presented in this paper Single clinker nodules with an average diameter of 10–15 mm were used in the analyses Porosity ratios and phase compositions were determined on scanning electron microscope images of polished clinker surfaces by using image processing techniques and
