However, the use of alternative fuels in cement production has ecological, economic, and social benefits. In this study, the environmental impacts of alternative …
The primary material slate, limestone, clay and literate accounted for the vast majority of environmental impact categories ' largest contributions, whereas primary materials for a cement ...
Social Impact Assessment (ESIA), where the environmental and social impacts assessments are merged into one assessment process. To ensure coverage of both environmental and social issues, this Technical Note refers to the ESIA. The objective of this Technical Note is to describe the necessary Bank requirements for the content and …
The environmental impact of cement and concrete production is low per unit volume of material, but the amounts used make the impact of the concrete sector highly important. Reductions...

Garcia-Gusano et. al. (2010) also investigated the environmental impacts of different cement types (CEM I, CEM II, CEM III, CEM IV, CEM V and other cements) by LC A. Garcia -Gusano ob served
UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme) defines Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) as a tool used to identify the environmental, social and economic impacts of a project prior to decision-making. Today we are going to look at one of the most important processes of EIA for the cement industry.
This study followed the environmental management standards of ISO 14040/14044 for LCA which was consisted of four parts (ISO, 2006a, ISO, 2006b), namely, goal and scope definition, life cycle inventory (LCI) analysis, life cycle impact assessment (LCIA), and life cycle interpretation.The functional unit of this study was defined as 1 kg …
The main purpose to assess cement production environment impact is to provide recommendation to enhance the sustainability of concrete application in the engineering construction sector. It is a common practice to use blended cement, for example CEM I ( PC content), CEM II/B–V (65% PC content, 35% FA content) and …
Grinding is the second largest contributor of environmental pollution from the cement industry as it is the largest electricity consumer in the whole production process (Song et al., 2016). 31-44% electricity for cement production is used for cement grinding, 26% for raw material grinding, 3-7% for fuel grinding, 28-29% for clinker production ...

Clinker grinding technology is the most energy-intensive process in cement manufacturing. Traditionally, it was treated as "low on technology" and "high on energy" as grinding circuits use more than 60 per cent of total energy consumed and account for most of the manufacturing cost. Since the increasing energy cost started burning the benefits …
For example, grinding 1 ton of European CEM II A-LL to increase the cement strength class from 32.5 MPa to 42.5 MPa requires around 6.7 kWh. The extra grinding would increase emissions by about 2.4 kg CO 2, which represents about 0.5% of the overall emissions (674–791 kg CO 2 /t for this type of cement).
