Production engineering and properties of low-energy masonry cement

Abstract

Relation between sustainability and cement manufacture that can be obtained by replacement of clinker with zeolie and limestone additives which decreases the use of energy resources and reduce CO2 emissions in cement production is shown. It is shown that a synergistic combination of mineral additives of different groups with substantial reduction of high energy-consumption clinker component in the low-energy masonry cement allows to improve rheological properties and provides acceleration of strength increase, to improve quality parameters of mortar mixes and building mortars.
