ROLE OF MINOR ELEMENTS IN CEMENT MANUFACTURE AND USE

The purpose of this review is to collect pertinent information on the behavior of minor and trace elements on the manufacture and use of cement. Attempts have been made to identify gaps, if any, in the information thus far available and suggest work for further investigations. As cement manufacturers continually strive to conserve resources, use of alternative raw feeds and secondary fuels derived from continuously generated industrial by-products is gaining interest. The likely concerns from alternative or new natural sources are the incorporation of trace elements into clinker and their effects on the performance of cement. These effects are, to a large extent, dependent upon the type of trace elements contained in the raw feed, their concentration levels, and the operating conditions of the kiln.
