Abstract: A process for producing hydraulic binders comprising essentially calcium and silicon oxides by adding, to a mixture composed of compounds containing oxygen, calcium, silicon, and optionally other elements which are normally encountered in conventional raw materials, particularly aluminium, at least one disturbing agent capable of modifying the crystallinity of the minerals normally formed by the firing of said mixture of compounds at high temperatures, firing said mixture of compounds containing said disturbing agent, and recovering a mineral product possessing hydraulic properties.
