Principles of Low-Carbon Cement

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Principles of Cement and Concrete Composites

Part of the book series: Structural Integrity ((STIN,volume 18))

Abstract

The cement industry constitutes a severe threat to ecology, including through its negative impact on the climate , due to the high level of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions associated with it. Given that this is the case, the modern world is looking for alternatives in order to preserve the environment for future generations . The eventual goal, therefore, is for industry to stop emitting carbon into the air . Many effective steps can be taken by industry leaders to achieve lower carbon emission targets to improve local ecological systems . This paper discusses the ways in which CO2 is measured and alternatives to the standard methods through which hydraulic cement is produced in order to reduce CO2 emissions. The benefits of using alternative methods , specifically relying on kilns and/or synthetic fuels , are identified and discussed. An assessment of the conditions needed for the industrial production of new cementitious systems in which clinker-calcined limestone and low-carbon clay are used is also presented. Additionally, an account of the clinkerization process of low-carbon cement (LCC) is provided. The new materials are shown to meet global standards in applications such as the production of hollow concrete blocks and precast concrete. In a comparison between Portland cement and the new materials, no major differences were found in either the mechanical or rheological features . An environmental ternary cement assessment is also reported that includes comparisons with other industrially blended cements . LCCs are shown as having the ability to reduce carbon emissions from cement production by more than 30%.
