The paper presents experimental results regarding the synthesis of Portland clinker starting from raw mixes based on two types of clayey precursors, i.e., clay and marl (the most common types of raw materials used in the cement industry), with and without glass waste content. The soda-lime glass waste addition (5.36–5.59 wt %), used to control the silica ratio of the raw mix, improved the raw mix burnability and decreased the calcination temperature (by 20 °C), leading to a decrease in fuel consumption and contributing to the reduction in CO2 emissions associated with clinker and cement production. The clinkers obtained by the calcination of raw mixes with glass waste content at 1430 °C with a 30 min plateau had a similar mineralogical composition and microstructure to the clinkers obtained from the reference raw mixes and fulfilled the requirements of the specific standard EN 197-1. The obtained clinkers were used to produce two types of Portland cement, i.e., a unitary cement (CEM I) and a binary blended cement with slag (CEM II/B-S). The main characteristics of these cements, i.e., loss on ignition, insoluble residue, sulfate and chloride contents, as well as the setting time and soundness, meet the conditions stipulated in the EN 197-1 standard. The values of compressive strength, assessed on mortars after 2, 7 and 28 days of curing, allow the classification of all CEM I cements in the 42.5 R class. In the case of CEM II/B-S cements, those obtained from raw mixes with clay can be classified in the 42.5 N class, while those obtained from raw mixes with marl are classified in the 32.5 R class.
The magnetic and dielectric behavior of Portland cement mortars with various fly ashes (waste from the thermoelectric power plant) with a Fe2O3 content of 13.8 % was studied. The dielectric losses, tgd, the real component of the dielectric permeability, e�,and the real magnet permeability, �, the parameters with which we calculated the shielding coefficients, a, of the investigated samples, have been determined for the purpose of determining the screening capacity of the investigated samples by magnetic and dielectric spectroscopy in the 50 Hz � 3 kHz (ELF) range. Following experimental data processing, it was found that by increasing the hematite microstructured hematite Fe2O3 content of mortar samples (by fly ash addition) increased shielding capacity in the ELF domain, recorded increases for shielding coefficients, a, to an addition of up to 40 % fly ash, being up to 14.5 times at 50 Hz and up to 21 times at 3 kHz.
