This article deals with the preparation and laboratory milling of β-dicalcium silicate. Dicalcium silicate is the second most important calcium silicate of Portland clinker. β-C2S is usually dominated in industrially produced clinker. Pure β-C2S can be prepared in several ways. Traditional way is the solid phase synthesis of raw material mixture. The paper deals with the preparation of β-dicalcium silicate, which is based on the modified Wesselsky-Jensen method and with the influence of length and the technology of the milling process in 3 types of laboratory mills on the particle size, distribution and agglomeration of the synthetically prepared β-dicalcium silicate.
