The invention provides a method for preparing
alite sulphoaluminate clinker by using
red mud. The method comprises the following steps: pretreating
bauxite and
red mud to obtain a premix; then proportioning the limestone, the premix and the desulfurized
gypsum according to a formula;
grinding the prepared raw materials in a mill to obtain a
raw material; and uniformly mixing the prepared
raw material with a composite catalyst, putting the mixture into a
kiln, calcining at 1300-1350 DEG C, and cooling the calcined product to obtain the
alite sulphoaluminate clinker. By adding the composite catalyst into the
raw material, the firing temperature of
tricalcium silicate is reduced to be within the firing temperature range of
calcium sulphoaluminate,
decomposition of
calcium sulphoaluminate in the firing process of
tricalcium silicate is avoided, the content of
tricalcium silicate is increased while the content of
calcium sulphoaluminate is not reduced, and the production cost is reduced. The early strength performance of the Alit sulphoaluminate
cement, which is lost after the
red mud is added, is supplemented. In addition, before the raw material is prepared, the red mud is subjected to
dealkalization treatment, so that the influence of alkali on the performance and the later strength of the
cement clinker is reduced.
