The production of cement clinker from limestone and chalk by heating limestone to temperatures above 950°C is the main energy consuming process. Portland
Limestone. • Cement producers usually loe their plants next to limestone deposits. • Limestones of varying geological ages are distributed across the UK. They
The initial production step in portland cement manufacturing is raw materials Some quarries produce relatively pure limestone that requires the use of
Lime and silica make up about 85% of the mass. Common among the materials used in its manufacture are limestone, shells, and chalk or marl, combined with
LC3 saves up to 40% of CO2 as compared to Ordinary Portland Cement. Most of the CO2 comes from the clinkerisation process. Therefore, reducing the clinker
Approximately 75% of the cement's raw material consists of lime (CaO)-bearing material. [1]. Representative sampling of the raw materials used to maNe Portland
