Cement production which is one of the most energy intensive industries plays a significant role in emitting the greenhouse gases. Blended cement production by supplementary cementitious materials such as fly ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag and natural pozzolan is one of the smart approaches to decrease energy and ecology related concerns about the production. Fly ash has been used as a substance to produce blended cements for years, but bottom ash, its coarser counterpart, has not been utilized due to its lower pozzolanic properties. This thesis study aims to evaluate the laboratory performance of blended cements, which are produced both by fly ash and bottom ash. Fly ash and bottom ash obtained from Seyitömer Power Plant were used to produce blended cements in 10, 20, 30 and 40% by mass as clinker replacement materials. One ordinary portland cement and eight blended cements were produced in the laboratory. Portland cement was ground 120 min to have a Blaine value of 3500±100 cm2/g. This duration was kept constant in the production of bottom ash cements. Fly ash cements were produced by blending of laboratory produced portland cement and fly ash. Then, 2, 7, 28 and 90 day compressive strengths, normal consistencies, soundness and time of settings of cements were determined. It was found that blended fly ash and bottom ash cements gave comparable strength results at 28 day curing age for 10% and 20% replacement. Properties of blended cements were observed to meet the requirements specified by Turkish and American standards.

Effects of separate and intergrinding on some properties of portland composite cements
Soyluoğlu, Serdar; Tokyay, Mustafa; Department of Cement Engineering (2009)
In the production of cement, to increase the cement/clinker ratio and decrease CO2 emission, the most important alternative is to produce mineral admixture incorporated cements (CEM II-III-IV-V) instead of portland cement (CEM I). These cements are usually produced by intergrinding the portland cement clinker and the mineral admixtures. However, the difference between grindabilities of the different components of such cements may cause significant effects on the particle size distribution and many other pro...
Comparison of the strength developments of interground and separately ground marble-incorporated cement mortars
Kava, İsmail Tolga; Erdoğan, Sinan Turhan; Hoşten, Çetin; Department of Cement Engineering (2013)
Production of Portland cement clinker contributes significantly to global warming and has a large environmental footprint. To reduce the amount of kiln-produced clinker in cement, the use of substitute natural or industrial waste materials has been gaining popularity. The use of CaCO 3- containing natural materials such as limestone and waste marble pieces has been increasing around the world, particularly after modifications made to cement production standards. Two types of marble-containing blended Portla...
Investigation of the properties of portland slag cement produced by separate grinding and intergrinding methods
Geven, Çağlar; Hoşten, Çetin; Department of Cement Engineering (2009)
In recent years, there has been a growing trend for the use of industrial by-products in the production of blended cements because of economical, environmental, ecological and diversified product quality reasons. Granulated blast furnace slag, a by-product of the transformation of iron ore into pig-iron in a blast furnace, is one of these materials which is used as a cementitious ingredient. The aim of this study is to investigate the properties of Portland slag cement (CEMII/B-S) by using separate grinding...
Simulation of solar thermal applicatıon in a cement plant
Salehian, Shadi; Tarı, İlker; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2020)
This study presents solar thermal application in the most energy consuming units of a cement plant located in Gaziantep, Turkey. Cement industry is the most important energy intensive and the second largest contributor to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions in the world which accounts for 5-6% of global CO2 emissions. Both material and energy flows are analyzed in the system for a conventional cement industry and a solar integrated one taking the most energy-efficient innovations into account. The whole ...
Comparison of Mechanical Behaviour of G Class Cements for different Curing Time
Güner, Doğukan; ÖZTÜRK, HANDE IŞIK (2015-04-17)
Since 1900's, well cementing is one of the most substantial method in casing application of oil, gas and geothermal. The American Petroleum Institute (API) identifies well cements in 8 classes with respect to pressure, temperature and the depth of the well. G class cement is the most commonly used cement type for well casing purpose due to its sulphate resistance ability. High sulphate-resistant (HSR) G class cements are often used in well cementing industry. API Standards mainly focus on uniaxial compressi...
