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 Portland cements were produced; CEM II/A-L and CEM II/B-L according to TS EN 197-1. The marble content was varied from 0 to 30 % by mass of the clinker. Two different grinding methods, intergrinding and separate grinding were employed. Two different Blaine finenesses were targeted. Several properties of mortar specimens made with the blended cements were compared with each other and with the Portland cement control mortars. Separate grinding of raw materials gave higher compressive strengths than intergrinding, for all cases at all ages. The initial and final setting times of the interground cement mortars were considerably longer. The differences were attributed to differences in the particle size distributions and the median particle diameters of the clinker and additive in the cement.

A study on blended bottom ash cements Kaya, Ayşe İdil; Yaman, İsmail Özgür; Hoşten, Çetin; Department of Cement Engineering (2010) 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 du...
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...
Low-energy alinite cement production by using soda waste sludge Uçal, Gültekin Ozan; Tokyay, Mustafa; Department of Civil Engineering (2016) Increased environmental awareness and the concept of sustainable development have impacts on cement industry as on many other fields. Alinite cement which was developed in the 1970s may be an alternative inorganic, low energy binding material. In this study, synthesis and optimization of the properties of alinite cement was carried out by using soda waste sludge as a raw material. Soda waste sludge was mixed with limestone, clay, and iron ore in different proportions. All mixes were burned at 1050oC or 1150...
Effect of combining different cement clinkers and slag with controlled finenesses on mortar strength and heat of hydration Çelikkol Koçak, Tümay; Erdoğan, Sinan Turhan; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) Portland cement production is an energy consuming activity. Increasing efficiency in concrete production is one of the ways of reducing energy consumption. To improve the efficiency of the properties of both materials and concrete system, reduction of undesired effects (loss of strength, decrease in lifetime, etc.) is important. The main purpose of this study is to combine different Portland cement clinkers and blast furnace slag with different fineness to obtain a cement with a controlled grading, in order...
The Effect of nanosilica on the properties of pumice incorporated blended cement Dündar, Burak; Yaman, İsmail Özgür; Şahmaran, Mustafa; Department of Civil Engineering (2016) Because of the high energy requirement and high CO2 amount as a waste of burned CaCO3 present in raw material, Portland Cement production is also responsible from the CO2 emission among other responsible industries. In order to reduce such an energy consumption, use of portland cement clinker is aimed to be reduced in construction industry. For this aim, use of materials called pozzolan has become widespread. Through the use of pozzolans, the amount of Portland Cement Clinker in structural concrete can be r...
