The Circular Economy-Oriented Practice in the Cement Industry

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Development of Circular Economy in China

Abstract

As the most widely used fundamental building material, cement is a kind of hydraulic powdery and inorganic cementitious material. Mixed with water, it can form a paste, which will harden in air or water, and bind sand and aggregates etc. firmly together. Cement production includes three procedures: cement raw meal preparation, cement clinker burning and cement manufacturing.
