Many industrial materials considered essential for supporting a better quality of life consume large amounts of energy for their production. Ordinary portland cement (OPC) is used widely as a building material, and its manufacture consumes much energy. In India, the cost of energy accounts for >40% of the total cost of cement manufacture. The cost to manufacture cement is expected to increase because of increasing demands for energy. Scientists are attempting to prepare OPC and other binding materials at lower cost by using agricultural and industrial wastes during clinkerization and by making blended cements. These measures decrease cost of production, conserve mineral resources and protect the environment by beneficial disposal of wastes. This article describes the effect of adding 10% bag-house dust to black meal used in vertical shaft kiln clinkerization in a cement miniplant. The hydration properties of OPC and blended cements made from control and experimental clinkers also have been studied.
