NaF acting as a mineraliser, the incorporating reaction takes place contemporarily to the decomposition of CdCO3 and the formation of ZrSiO4.

The mineralizer can interact with impurities on the surface of the crystal and increase the growth rate.

Without the mineralizer, higher temperatures are required to solubilize silica.

Key words: clinker, alite, structure, hydraulic activity, clinkerisation temperature, mineralizer.

Although usually the anion of the mineralizer is most active in dissolving the nutrient material, the cation also exerts an influence in some cases.

The purpose of a mineralizer is to facilitate the transport of insoluble "nutrient" to a seed crystal by means of a reversible chemical reaction.

Mineralizer for dental cement, quartzite, alumina, mullite; auxiliary flux for whiteware bodies; special glazes.

Different zeolites can also be formed by changing the ratios of the nutrient source, the type of mineralizer or the temperature and pH of the reaction.

A typical recipe for the production of a zeolite includes the mineralizer, the solvent, the seed crystal, a nutrient consisting of silica (SiO) and alumina (AlO), and a template.
