Cement is an energy-intensive industry in which the grinding circuits use more than 60 % of the total electrical energy consumed and account for most of the manufacturing cost [].The requirements for the cement industry in the future are to reduce the use of energy in grinding and the emission of CO 2 from the kilns. In …
During the hydration process, the net reaction heat of limestone waste in the cement blends ranged from 0.38 J/g to 4.1 J/g. In addition, the thermodynamic modeling and XRD indicated that the monocarbonate and hemicarbonate were stable in the limestone-cement blends, and the limestone waste increased the stability of ettringite.

This paper reports the strength-promoting mechanism of alkanolamines on limestone-calcined clay cement (LC 3).The hydration kinetics, phase formation and microstructure of LC 3 with triethanolamine (TEA) or triisopropanolamine (TIPA) were investigated. TEA enhanced the strength of LC 3, while TIPA was effective at 28 days, …
Ambitious goals set to drastically reduce CO 2 emissions and eventually achieve net zero [1, 2] have prompted the construction industry to accelerate research on developing low-carbon alternatives to portland cement (PC).The main sources of CO 2 emissions in PC production are the decarbonation of limestone, the combustion of fuel …
When investigating the OPC/limestone, the grinding effect was more pronounced at lower w/p of 0.35 than at higher w/p of 0.50. This was due to the fact that in the lower w/p mixtures, the replacement of cement by limestone allows the remaining cement to hydrate more completely, resulting in a higher degree of hydration.
It is evident from these data, that the best properties of Portland limestone cement can be achieved by separate Portland cement clinker and limestone grinding and subsequent mixing of these components. Because the C 3 A phase is reacting with limestone, the lower gypsum addition, reduced of about 50 %, can be used .
