This work arises from the growing concern about the practices in industrial waste disposal to reach a sustainable development. One important technique to be considered by the waste generating companies is co- processing of residues in rotary cement kilns. The co-processing technique takes advantage of the cement kiln operational conditions to recycle industrial wastes. It also utilizes residue´s calorific power and/or the raw material that is eventually enclosed on it. Although, it´s necessary to understand the impact of the minor and secondary elements in the clinker production process and on its proprieties, like the preference to produce cement with equivalents proprieties, the commitment to decrease pollution gas emissions and the guarantee to support clinker´s environmental quality. The purpose of this work is to investigate the effect of chromium - an usual element found on several sources of co-processed residues - at the kinetics of the clinkerization reaction and in the clinker´s phases - C3S- alite, C2S-belite, C3Atricalcic aluminate and C4AF-tetracalcic iron aluminate. Chromium oxide at the proportions of 0,1%, 0,5% e 1% was incorporated at the raw material of clinker production and some testes were realized: X-Ray Diffraction, Scattering Electronic Microscopy with EDS and Differential Thermal Analysis. To quantitatively evaluate the phases, the Rietveld Method was utilized. Among the obtained results, it could be observed that chromium inhibits the formation of alite.
