Portland cement clinker contains four principal minerals: Alite: approximately tricalcium silicate (typically about 65% of the total) Belite: approximately dicalcium silicate (typically about 15% of the total) Aluminate: very approximately tricalcium aluminate (typically about 7% of the total) Ferrite: very approximately tetracalcium aluminoferrite (typically about 8% of the total) The balance is made up of alkali sulfates and minor impurities. The typical mineral contents shown are subject to wide variation.
