The extent of reaction of limestone with cement clinkers is relatively low than the corresponding values of cement clinkers, the probable cause for this as stated above arise from the low solubility and low reactivity of limestone particles, though other factors of limestone, including fineness, particle size distribution, etc., do have influence on its reaction […]
Category: Blended cement
The binary cement, e.g. Portland cement blends with slag or fly ash or limestone, has gained great popularity in many countries. However, each kind of binary cement has its own shortfalls, e.g. the addition limestone can reduce the later strength due to its dilution effect, while the reaction of slag is relatively slow in the […]
Limestone has been utilized as a mineral addition in cement industry for a long time. The latest European Standard (EN 197-1-2000) allows up to 5% limestone as a minor additional constituent, and also identifies four types of Portland limestone cement containing 6-20% limestone (types II/A-L and II/A-LL) and 21-35% limestone (types II/B-L and II/B-LL), respectively.
