— Recent years have seen a surge in research on supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) .This growing interest stems from two key factors of SCMs (i) partially replacing clinker, the most energy-intensive component of cement, and (ii) the vast range of readily available materials suitable for use as SCMs.These SCMs are typically soluble …

 — The aim of this work was to demonstrate the feasibility of producing Portland cement clinker upon direct exposure of the raw materials under concentrated solar radiation using the PSA high concentration solar furnace SF40.

 — In this work, we employ machine learning methods to perform effective quality control for cement production through monitoring and predicting the density of free calcium oxide (f-CaO) in cement clinker.

Clinker is the backbone of cement production. It is essentially a mix of limestone and minerals that have been heated in a kiln and have been transformed by this heat. When limestone is converted to clinker, CO 2 is released (also known as process emissions).

 — This study proposes a raw meal proportioning methodology for optimising co-processing of natural feedstocks with alternative raw materials in clinker production, intending to reduce the content...

New types of cement clinkers are being developed that are chemically different from conventional Portland cement clinker. These result in 20 – 30% CO 2 savings by reducing the amount of limestone in the formulation and because they require less energy.

 — Cement plants can adopt our approach to develop their own recipes, enhance clinker quality, and optimize their manufacturing processes without requiring any infrastructure upgrades. This novel approach distinguishes this study from prior research.

In this study, a technology that uses concentrated solar energy to directly drive solar cement clinker production is proposed and its feasibility is experimental demonstrated. The results showed that cement clinker could be burned using concentrated solar energy.

 — This study aimed to investigate the environmental impact of modified granulated copper slag (MGCS) utilization in blended cement production at a representative cement plant in China. Sensitivity … Expand

med by heat into complex reactive minerals. Once it is produced, the clinker is finely ground and mixed with gypsum and normally with alternative constituents (ra. aterials or by-products) to make ce.
