Cement is a fine powder, obtained from the calcination at 1,450°C of a mix of limestone, clay, and iron ore. The product of the calcination process is clinker—the main ingredient of cement—that is finely ground with gypsum and other chemical additives to produce cement. Cement is the most widely used construction material worldwide.

The replacement of traditional cement with high clinker content should be achieved quickly to lower the carbon footprint of mortar and concrete. Cement is responsible for about 70% of the carbon footprint of cementitious materials. Current research suggests that the use of limestone and metakaolin or calcined clay could replace the current four gigatons of clinker produced.

The History of Portland Cement. Cement as we know it was first developed by Joseph Aspdin, an enterprising 19thcentury British stonemason, who heated a mix of ground limestone and clay in his kitchen stove, then pulverized the concoction into a fine powder. The result was the world's first hydraulic cement: one that hardens when water is added.

Cement production begins with limestone, a sedimentary rock. Once quarried, it is mixed with a silica source, such as industrial byproducts slag or fly ash, and gets fired in a kiln at 2,700 degrees Fahrenheit. What comes out of the kiln is called clinker. Cement plants grind clinker down to an extremely fine powder and mix in a few additives.

The limestone is fired in a kiln at the same low temperatures, °C, which are used for firing hydraulic lime. The calcium in the limestone combines with the aluminosilicates in the clay to form hydraulic minerals. 8 After firing the calcined rock is ground into a fine powder, unlike lime, natural cement cannot be slaked.
