An example is: Type IL (10) is 90% portland cement and 10% limestone. The limestone is typically added to replace a portion of the clinker during the final grinding stage in cement production.
Tsivilis et al. [10] compared cement pastes with various percentages of limestone addition (0–35%) and increasing fineness with this addition, ranging from 300 to 500 m 2 /kg. Their results show that the addition of 5% of limestone represents the optimum strength. For the other additions, strengths decrease, in particular at 28 days.

While the majority of commercial ordinary portland cement (OPC) is ground using a ball mill or a vertical roller mill, other industries have shown that jet mill grinding can be an alternative approach for grinding materials. This paper investigates the potential application of jet mill grinding for two systems. The first system is a blend of OPC and …

The mechanical and physical properties of the cements were measured and hydrated products, formed after 1–28 days, were identified by means of XRD. ... Recent research work shows that Portland-limestone cement pastes are susceptible …
The grinding process was designed in order to produce cements of the same 28 day compressive strength. The mechanical and physical properties of the cements were measured and hydrated products, formed after 1–28 days, were identified by means of XRD. ... Technical and economical aspects of the use of limestone filler additions in cement ...
Addition of fine limestone provides an excellent means to reduce the amount of clinker in cement. It is now well accepted that limestone partially reacts in cementitious systems with C3A to produce hemi- and monocarboaluminate phases and as a consequence more sulfate is available to form ettringite and the total volume of hydrates increases.
Grinding of cement clinker together with a fraction of limestone produces a Portland ? limestone cement, which has an improved particle-size distribution, water demand and …
Recently, triethanolamine (TEA) has been widely adopted as cement additive with a series of functions, such as grinding acids (GAs) for cement production [[1], [2] ... For binder containing 30% fly ash and 10% limestone, the addition of TEA significantly enhanced the hydration heat evolution rate at initial period, ...
Furthermore, it was found that 25-35% limestone addition by weight results in slightly lesser compressive strength values than the 28 th day's standard compressive strength requirement.
The use of limestone as mineral addition, established in some countries since many decades and recognized in technical standards, has only recently been subject of scientific ...

This clinker is ground to the fine powder known as portland cement. In the final grinding step, other ingredients may be included, typically calcium sulfate (gypsum) and uncalcined limestone. ... Increasing the fineness of the cement or limestone will add more surface area. Water absorption will therefore increase and bleeding will decrease ...
Portland-limestone cement (PLC) is a blended cement with a higher limestone content, which results in a product that works the same, measures the same, and performs the same, but with a reduction in carbon footprint of 10% on average. ... Cement is made by grinding clinker—the main energy intensive ingredient—to a fine powder. Producers ...
Limestone is used as raw material to produce portland cements and as supplementary cementing material called filler.For more than three decades, portland-limestone cements (PLC) have been produced by intergrinding of limestone, portland clinker and gypsum (Irassar et al. 2011).The addition of limestone contributes to a more …
Portland-limestone cement can contain from 5% to 15% limestone along with the clinker. To assure similar performance in concrete, manufacturers optimize PLCs by grinding them a bit finer than portland cement. The limestone particles can pack closer together to tighten the concrete matrix and their finer grind makes them slightly more reactive.

This reduction in ce-ment consumption would produce the same environmental benefits as those indicated by limestone-addition propo-nents.

There are four stages in the manufacture of portland cement: (1) crushing and grinding the raw materials, (2) blending the materials in the correct proportions, (3) burning the prepared mix in a kiln, and (4) grinding the burned product, known as " clinker," together with some 5 percent of gypsum (to control the time of set of the cement).
