Precision X-ray diffraction and X-ray phase analysis of clinkers from Russian cement plants

The structural model of alite was made more exact, and polymorphic modifications of belite for clinkers from Russian cement plants were redefined according to a synchrotron diffraction experiment. The results are used to solve the problems of routine X-ray phase analysis of clinkers.
