13 In modern clinker the alite size is reduced and
belite size has increased because
a) To
increase the reactivity of alite and uniform and complete burning in rotary
kiln leads to larger crystal sizes of belite
b) To
increase the reactivity of belite and uniform and complete burning in rotary
kiln leads to smaller crystal sizes of alite

modern clinker production process needs slower burning rate and so alite size
is reduced and belite size increased
d) Both
a and c
Accepted Answers:
To increase the reactivity of alite and
uniform and complete burning in rotary kiln leads to larger crystal sizes of
belite
