May 3, 2022By replacing some of the clinker in the cement, which is the main energy-intensive ingredient, with limestone, you are reducing the level of carbon emissions from the cement's production. As limestone grinds finer than clinker, the result is a far denser particle packing with increased particle distribution.

Dilution effect is when cement is partially replaced by limestone, the content of cement is reduced and water to cement ratio increases correspondingly. Nucleation effect is that limestone can serve as nucleation sites of hydrating cement particles. Hydration of cement can accelerate due to nucleation effect.

The primary component of cement is limestone. To produce cement, limestone and other clay-like materials are heated in a kiln at 1400°C and then ground to form a lumpy, solid substance called clinker; clinker is then combined with gypsum to form cement. Cement manufacturing is highly energy- and emissions-intensive because of the extreme heat ...

For example, the carbonation resistance of concrete with a cement with only 15 mass % limestone was equal to that of a cement with 30 or even 50 mass % limestone when the w/c ratio was reduced from 0.5 to 0.35 or 0.3 (Figure 3). Of course, sophisticated process measures in cement plants are necessary for the production of high-limestone cements.
