cementverk
A cementverk (cement works) is an industrial facility where cement is produced from raw materials such as limestone and clay. In its most common form it is an integrated plant that forms clinker in a rotary kiln and then grinds it with gypsum to produce cement. Some facilities operate as grinding plants that receive clinker from a separate location. A cementverk typically includes quarries or mines, material handling systems, the kiln and clinker cooler, a cement mill, storage silos and packaging or dispatch equipment.
Raw materials are processed into a fine raw meal, preheated and partially calcined in a cyclone preheater,
Common cement products include Ordinary Portland Cement and blended cements that incorporate supplementary cementitious materials such
Environmental concerns center on carbon dioxide emissions from calcination and fuel combustion, energy intensity and dust
Globally, cementworks are concentrated in regions with abundant limestone and demand for construction. The industry has
