Before considering these limitations, a summary of the clinkering process, and of the role of the liquid phase, may be useful. The essential reactions in making Portland cement are the calcination of limestone to produce lime (calcium oxide) and the combination of this lime with silica to make belite and, especially, alite.

The process that cement raw materials is sintered in a kiln is the key to the quality of cement clinker. In the sintering process of cement raw material, the useful components decomposed by various raw materials at 1000 °C are mainly: calcium oxide (CaO), silicon dioxide (SiO 2), aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3), and ferric oxide (Fe 2 O 3).
These aspects have been lucidly discussed by Eitel [4]. The favourable action of mineralizers during the clinkering process can be anticipated in view of several such transformations that occur in various reactant and clinker phases, for example, the polymorphic ones of C2S at 1160 and 1425 C and even that of poorly reactive -quartz at 572 C.
Although the recycle of these materials has become a common practice in cement industry, cautions must be taken because they can contain elements that, even at low concentration, remarkably affect the sintering process [4].Minor elements can (i) enter the structure of the clinker phases forming different solid solutions (C 3 S ss, C 2 S ss, C 3 A ss, C …
