The study of the physicochemical properties of the clinkers obtained was carried out by X-ray phase, petrographic and alcohol-glycerate methods. Using the alcohol-glycerate method, it was found that the total absorption of CaO in raw

in FPP flock waste clinkers, which was mentioned in work [5] due to the mineralizing role ofCa fluoride, which stimulates the formation of the liquid phase at earlier stages of solid-phase synthesis, which in turn activates both the decarbonization of the carbonate component and the formation of clinker minerals.

Data from petrographic studies suggest that the presence of various silica components in the raw material mixtures, as
well as the presence of non-ferrous metals in them, do not have a significant effect on the composition and crystallization of minerals. The main crystalline phase of the clinkers obtained is alite, and its crystals are of the same type and

According to the crystallization of alite, clinker with SC = 0.9 is allocated to the magnitude and quality of the crystals on the basis of the LPP flotation waste due to the presence of acid oxides and high basicity of the raw mix.
The presence of CaF2 (0.8-1%) in the raw mix with FPP flotation waste produced clinker with a low Tfiring and good mineralization.
Chemical, petrographic, thermographic, and X-ray phase analysis methods were used to study the hydration of the clinkers obtained and, on their basis, it was found that it is characterized by the stadiality of mineralization of new phases that is usual for Portland cement.
Thus, in the initial periods of hardening, X-ray phase (Fig. 2) and petrographic methods indicate the formation of coarse-grained crystals of Ca oxide hydrate with d=0.493, 0.310, 0.263 nm and ettringite grains 3CaO Al2O3 3CaSO4 31H2O with the main diffraction maximum with d = 0.958 nm, the formation of which is more intensively for cements with SC = 0.9, as well as small flaked crystals of calcium hy-droaluminate 3CaO Al2O3 CaCO3 11H2O with a diffraction maximum of d = 0.780 nm.
Calcium hydroaluminate is the main mineral providing the initial strength of the cement stone on the first day of hardening and is formed in large quantities in clinkers capable of giving a large supersaturation of the liquid phase in CaO-alitic clinker.
The mineral phases of ettringite and calcium hydrocarbonate are more pronounced in the clinker images with LPP and CPP and SC = 0.8.
In clinics with LPP, CPP, FPP 28 daily hardening, in addition to the previously identified minerals, the formation of calcium hydrosilicate (1.7-2.2) Cao SiO2 2H2O d = 0.307 is noted; 0.280; 0.183 nm, characterized by qualitative crystallization and being, as is well known, the main component of the strength of cement stone after 28 days of hardening. In this case, the quantitative formation of new crystalline phases prevails in the clinkers based on the flotation waste of LPP and CPP, which naturally depends on the mineralogical composition of the raw mixtures.
The results ofX-ray phase analysis and petrographic analysis are confirmed by the data of thermographic studies, as the dehydration of calcium hydrosilicate corresponds to the endothermic effect at 140-180 °C, which reaches a considerable amount after a day of hardening, and with an increase in the hydration period of all cements, this effect increases. On the thermograms of hydrated cements, the endothermic effect at 760-780 °C corresponds to the decarbonization of CaCO3, which is formed by the interaction of hydration products with carbon dioxide of air. Characteristic for thermograms of all cements is that there is no significant difference in the process of their hydration. The data of chemical analysis of hydrated cements (Table 4) also indicate an increase in the content of Ca(OH)2 by the 28th day of hardening.

Cement FPP 4.7 6.3 9.1 13.2 12.7 11.8 11.5
The decrease in the Ca(OH)2 content with an increase in the hydration period (90, 180, 360) is due to the action of CO2. It should be noted that the nature of the change in the content of Ca(OH)2 in the hydrated cement is identical for all the samples studied.
The study ofthe process ofhydrolysis ofall cements (Table 5) showed that, reaching a maximum value after three days of hy-
dration, the concentration of CaO in solutions subsequently decreases somewhat. This can be explained by an increase in the degree of crystallization of the tobermorite phase.
The practical absence of differences in the content of Ca(OH)2 in the liquid phase of hydrated same time studied cements, characterizes a small difference in the phase composition of the products of their hydration.

As a result of the conducted research, the possibility of obtaining clinkers of optimal mineralogical and crystallo-graphic compositions based on the used flotation waste LPP, CPP, FPP as a silica-containing component of raw mixtures, at optimal conditions and firing temperature, was established.
The difference in the mineralogical composition of the FPP waste flooder for acid oxides makes it possible to use this
waste not only as a complete substitute for loess, but also as an additive with pronounced mineralizing properties.
Physical and mechanical tests of cements, ground with 4% gypsum, showed that they are not inferior in strength and time of setting (Table 6) to their factory counterparts with brand strength of 500.

Thus, the test results showed that the reactivity of raw lesser extent, FPP, is not inferior to natural silica-containing mixtures containing, as a silica waste, LPP, CPP and, to a raw materials.
