Physical effects of limestone on the hydration of cement clinkers
on the other hand, limestone is softer than clinker which could achieve a finer particle size when interground with portland cement clinkers, producing an improved particle size distribution and improving particle packing, e.g., for an overall specific blaine surface area of 420 m 2 / kg, 50% of the limestone particles can be below 700nm, …

To make Portland cement – the pasty main ingredient in modern concrete – limestone is mined, crushed and baked at high heat with clay and small amounts of other materials in giant kilns. Generating this heat usually involves burning coal or other fossil fuels, accounting for more than a third of the carbon emissions associated with concrete.

Limestone filler : GCCA
In current standards, many countries now allow clinker replacement by limestone in cement. The benefits of using limestone include improved concrete workability, reduced bleeding, and lower water demand. At levels below 5%, it also improves early strength. Limestone cement is also lighter in colour than ordinary Portland cement.

What Is Cement Made Of?
Portland cement is made of 60-65% Lime (calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide), 17-25% Silica (silicon dioxide), 3-8% Alumina (aluminium oxide), 1-3% Magnesia (magnesium oxide), 0.5-0.6% Iron oxide, 0.1-0.5% Calcium sulphate, 1-3% Sulfur xide, and 0-1% Alkaline. These ingredients are ground up, mixed together and baked to create clinker.

What is Cement? History- Chemistry- Industries
Non-hydraulic cement is produced through the following steps (lime cycle): Calcination: Lime is produced from limestone at over 825°C for about 10 hours. (CaCO 3 → CaO + CO 2) Slaking: Calcium oxide is mixed with water to make slaked lime. (CaO + H 2 O → Ca (OH) 2) Setting: Water is completely evaporated.
