The development of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) in the 18th century had a significant influence on urban societies, and it is still the most widely used material in the construction industry. In cement-clinker production, raw materials such as limestone, clay, sandstone, slag, and natural mixtures are commonly used (Schneider et al., 2011 ...

Furthermore, cement kiln dust may be emitted to control the chemical composition of the clinker. Clinker production is the most energy-intensive stage in cement production, accounting for more than 90% of total industry energy use and virtually all the fuel use. The main kiln type used throughout the world is the large-capacity rotary kiln.

1. Introduction. Concrete production has an impact on the climate as it accounts for 5–8% of total anthropogenic CO 2 emissions [1]. 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 …
