Influence of sodium ions on the synthesis and hydration of belite-ye'elimite-ternesite clinker

Key Points

• Sodium ions enhance the hydration process of belite and ye'elimite when forming clinker, improving efficiency.
• Increased sodium concentration results in significant changes to the chemical composition of the clinker.
• Synthesis was conducted through controlled experiments examining varying sodium ion concentrations.
• Understanding sodium's role may lead to better development of clinker with desired properties.
