"Type 1L cement was introduced as a way to capture CO 2 emissions," Ferrell says. "Some sources state that anywhere from 7 to 8% of the CO 2 generated in the world is during the production of cement. Type 1L was conceived as a way to limit the amount of CO 2 generated because cement is basically limestone put in a kiln and …

Overview of Portland Limestone Cement (PLC) PLC (Type IL) is a durable and resilient alternative to ordinary Portland cement (OPC). It is possible to deploy it as a 1:1 replacement. It is another step in the evolution of Portland cement, a product patented 200 years ago. Incorporating ground limestone into cement is not a new idea.

Cement is a fine powder obtained by sintering a mixture of limestone, clay and iron ore at approximately 1450 °C using flames that can reach over 2000 °C. The calcination process product is called clinker (cement's main ingredient) and is finely ground with gypsum and other chemical additives to produce cement.

Born in Spain, Candela emigrated to Mexico when he was 26. He reshaped the capabilities of reinforced concrete into thin shells that could carry the curvature of concrete out into space. Candela's insight was that reinforced concrete worked superbly in domes or shells; to figure out the engineering, he used hyperbolic paraboloid geometry.
