heal.abstract	The use of selected secondary materials for improving the reactivity of cement raw mix, is a challenging subject. It is known that certain foreign elements exert a considerable effect on the cement raw mix burnability and clinker structure, even at low concentration. This work is part of a project on the use of selected minerals as a source of elements having a positive effect on the burnability of cement raw mix. The minerals, iron rich wolframite, stibnite and a wolframite-stibnite assemblage, were selected in order to introduce W, Sb and S in the cement raw mix. One reference and twelve modified mixtures, prepared by mixing the reference sample with 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 % w/w of the above minerals, were studied. Their effect on the burnability is discussed in Part I. The subject of this paper is their effect on the structure of the produced clinker. The XRD studies, performed in samples that were burned at 1450 degreesC, showed that the diffraction patterns correspond to a structure of a typical clinker, obtained at the above temperatures. In addition, samples sintered at lower temperature (1200-1400 degreesC) were examined in order to investigate the effect of the additives on the intermediate products. It is concluded that the added compounds affect mainly the structure of calcium aluminate and calcium aluminoferrite phases, due to their dissolution in the melt formed during the sintering. Scanning Electron Microscopy was used in order to examine the structure of the clinker and the distribution of the foreign elements in its main phases. It is shown that W and Sb are mainly concentrated in the solidified melt. In addition, bigger and more roundish alite crystals are found in these samples. These modifications are attributed to the effect of the added elements on the properties of the melt.	en
