Summary:The trace element content of clinkers (and possibly of cements) can be used for the qualitative identification (i.e. manufacturing works). Several hundred clinker sorts have been analysed (by replicated quarterly samples, collected from all Hungarian cement factories, as well as from factories in eight foreign countries) to determine their Mg, Sr, Ba, Mn, Ti, Zr, Zn and V content. The first six elements come from the main raw materials and are of dactylogrammatic value, while the last two elements mainly come from fuel (used tires and heavy fuel oil, respectively) and cannot be used for identification. In this paper, a graphical method is presented to facilitate the visualisation of the trace element content.
