Pond ash from thermal power plants serves as a reactive raw material in the black meal process of cement manufacture. Plant scale trials in a 50 TPD VSK plant have shown encouraging results in terms of quality improvement, energy conservation and enhanced production. Clinker produced was easy to grind resulting in saving of grinding energy.
