In this paper, results of an investigation of the influence of mechanical activation of a raw material mixture on processes of synthesis and reaction sintering of Portland cement clinker are given. Activation was performed in a vibro mill with rings for 30 minutes in a continual regime in air. It has been established that mechanical activation of the starting raw material mixture increases general activity, which is mostly reflected in reduction of temperatures at which relevant chemical reactions and sintering occur. This is very significant from the viewpoint of the increasingly necessary efficiency and cheaper production, i.e. energy savings during synthesis of Portland cement clinker and indicates that further investigation of the influence of mechanical activation is more than justified
