view moreA cement is a binder, a substance used for construction that sets, hardens, and adheres to other materials to bind them together. Cement is seldom used on its own, but rather to bind sand and gravel together.Cement mixed with fine aggregate produces mortar for masonry, or with sand and gravel, produces concrete.Concrete is the most widely used material in existence and is only behind water .
view moreLimestone is mainly calcium carbonate, CaCO3, which when heated breaks down to form calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. Calcium oxide reacts with water to produce calcium hydroxide. Limestone and its products have many uses, including being used to make cement, mortar and concrete.

view moreProducers enhance the bonding process of cement at the concrete production stage with supplementary cementing materials (SCMs), which come from industrial waste streams. The core ingredients of cement (limestone, sand, and clay) and concrete (cement mixed with sand, gravel, and water) are among the most commonly available raw materials on Earth.
view moreCement manufacturing is the source of 5% of global CO2 emissions. The cement industry is a natural producer of CO2: 60% of emissions are due to the transformation of raw materials at high temperatures (the "decarbonation" of limestone), 40% result from the combustion required to heat the cement .

Concrete production has an impact on the climate as it accounts for 5–8% of total anthropogenic CO 2 emissions . 95% of this CO 2 is produced during the fabrication of cement, half of it being released by the decarbonation of the limestone during cement fabrication. Cement is, after power generation, the second largest source of anthropogenic CO 2 emissions, and also the ...

view moreJun 24, 2016· The typical CaCO 3 content in limestone is about 65%, based on chemical Equation (1), and it can be calculated that it will generate 0.44 kg CO 2 per kg consumption of CaCO 3.Therefore, in the cement production phase, CO 2 emissions from decomposition can be calculated as: 65% times 0.44 kg is 0.2860 kg. Likewise, MgCO 3 content in limestone is about 1.5%, the CO 2 emission is 7.8 g.
