The views for application of electron paramagnetic resonance in cement raw materials and clinker examination

The authors deal with the problem of electron paramagnetic resonance application for the examination of cement minerals. The theoretical foundations of the method and experimental technique are presented and the advantages of this new method are emphasized. Also the possibility for application of this method, in future, in rapid examination of cement raw materials reactivity for the sake of new cement plant design as well as for industrial practice, is mentioned.
