Effects of bulk composition, raw feed preparation and ash deposition

2 Effects of bulk composition, raw feed preparation and ash deposition 

The bulk composition affects the relative amounts of phases, the LSF, SR and AR affecting primarily the ratios of alite to belite, silicate phases to interstitial material and aluminate to ferrite phase, respectively. An LSF that is too high, either absolutely or in relation to the burning conditions, also gives rise to an excessive content of free lime. Belite may occur in such clinkers only as inclusions in alite.
