Portland cement and portland-limestone cement are the most common types of cement used in concrete. In concrete, a paste made of cement and water is mixed with aggregates (sand, gravel, or crushed stone). As the cement reacts chemically with the water, it binds the aggregates into a rock-like mass. ... Using quality materials, a low …

The bulk of the cement industry's environmental burden is from the calcareous source. Calcium is mostly available naturally as limestone (CaCO 3), where almost half of the mass is eventually released as CO 2 during clinker manufacture. Iron (Fe) is the fourth most common element in the Earth's crust surpassed only by oxygen, silicon, and …

Cement production begins with limestone, a sedimentary rock. Once quarried, it is mixed with a silica source, such as industrial byproducts slag or fly ash, and gets fired in a kiln at 2,700 degrees Fahrenheit. What comes out of the kiln is called clinker. Cement plants grind clinker down to an extremely fine powder and mix in a few additives.
