Abstract
The main problem of cement production is to reduce energy consumption and reduce the amount of greenhouse gases CO2 emitted into the atmosphere. The prerequisite for solving the problem is: the use of man-made waste and unconventional raw materials in the composition of the charge and the reduction of limestone content from 85% to 70-75% as a source of CO2 gas. The article presents the results of the studied technogenic waste and the suitability of non-traditional raw materials such as tefritobazalt, coal mining waste, and lead slag. The chemical and mineralogical composition of the materials and their suitability for obtaining environmentally friendly clinker have been established. The possibility of obtaining cement clinker using low-energy resource-saving technologies is shown. Clinker formation processes in the developed mixtures are completed at a temperature of 1350 °C, which, with the coal contained in the waste, will reduce the consumption of fuel injectors and reduce CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. In the developed low-energy mixtures, the specific consumption of raw materials for obtaining 1 ton of clinker is reduced to 1516-1525 kg, which is significantly lower than in traditional raw mixtures. Alite crystals are large, reaching 100-140 microns. The content of clinker minerals is C3S-57.88%, C2S-18.82%, C3A-6.46% and C4AF-11.61%. Disposal of large-tonnage waste will reduce environmental pollution and improve the environmental situation in the region.
