1 TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS IN THE APPLICATION OF ALTERNATE RAW MATERIALS IN CEMENT MANUFACTURE NCB'S EXPERIENCE ASHWANI PAHUJA Director General NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR CEMENT AND BUILDING MATERIALS,

2 Sustainability in Cement and Concrete Production Sustained efforts are required for environmental protection and energy conservation to combat climate changes in the 21st century. The most important present day issues pertinent to cement industry include reduction of CO 2 emission, utilization of waste materials as well as conservation of natural resources. There is a greater need for enhancing the use of marginal grade and alternate raw materials, alternate fuels, and supplementary cementitious materials in cement and concrete production Cement industry can contribute substantially in the ongoing Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (Clean India drive) in the country by treating large amounts of hazardous and nonhazardous wastes in safe and environmentally sound manner.

3 KEY ISSUES Raw Material Conservation: Limestone non renewable mineral resource Environmental considerations: Global emphasis on reducing the emission of greenhouse gases Use of alternate raw materials in clinker production Producing cements with lower clinker factor Gainful utilization and disposal of waste materials Circular Economy Standard Specifications Formulation of standard specifications for newer and more sustainable cements Cement properties and concrete performance Rate of strength gain of cements at lower clinker contents/ newer cements Durability of concrete structures

4 Low carbon technology roadmap for the Indian cement industry NCB has been actively associated with Indian industry members of the cement sustainability initiative (CSI), a part of the world business council on sustainable development (WBCSD) to assess opportunities for carbon emission reduction and increased resource efficiency. This has resulted in a road map for low carbon technology identifying the potential levers to improve energy efficiency as well as to reduce carbon emission. Five broad technological key levers have been identified Increased use of alternate fuels and raw materials (AFR) Improvement in thermal and electrical energy efficiency Reduction in clinker factor Recovery of waste heat Application of newer technologies.

5 Raw Material Resource Augmentation & Conservation The total estimated cement grade limestone reserves are billion tones. It is required to broaden the raw material base by utilization of low grade deposits and industrial wastes in the manufacture of cements as a component of raw mix. Various approaches need careful consideration for utilizing the huge reserves of low/marginal grade limestone. it is also imperative that intensive research be conducted to develop newer products depending on the available resources.

7 Approaches for Utilization of low/marginal grade limestone Beneficiation of low/marginal grade limestone. In preparation of synthetic granulated slag. Manufacture of reactive belite and sulfoaluminatebelite cement Manufacture of LC 3 (limestone calcined clay) cement Manufacture of Portland Limestone Cement As minor additional constituent in OPC and blended cements

8 Gainful utilization and disposal of waste materials As much as 57 million tonnes of fly ash is consumed by Indian cement industry for making blended cements. consuming about 28% of the total fly ash generated and the entire quantity of granulated blast furnace slag, the waste generated by steel plants exceeding 10 million tones annually. As the generation of fly ash, granulated blast furnace slag and other industrial wastes would increase in coming years, continuous innovative efforts are required to enhance gainful utilization for these wastes. Technoeconomic feasibility studies for utilization of industrial, agricultural and mine wastes such as fly ash, BF slag, sludges, red mud, nonconventional slag, marble dust and chemical industry wastes, rice husk, bagasse etc as raw materials / mineralizers and blending component in the manufacture of OPC and blended cements carried out at NCB Use of different sulfate bearing wastes as substitutes for gypsum have also been investigated by NCB. Based on detailed investigations carried out at NCB, waste materials such as leadzinc slag, copper slag, LD slag and ecat have been included for use as performance improver in OPC.

9 HIGHLIGHTS OF NCB s WASTE UTILIZATION STUDIES Waste Materials Utilization Levels in Specific Studies LeadZinc Slag Utilization up to 6% in cement raw mix 5% as performance improver in OPC Copper slag Utilization up to 2.5% in cement raw mix 5% as performance improver in OPC Steel slag Utilization up to 2.0% in cement raw mix 5% as performance improver in OPC Ecat from oil refinery Utilization up to 1015% in the manufacture of blended pozzolanic cement Marble dust from marble Utilization up to 515% as replacement of limestone in industries cement manufacture (in raw mix, as performance improver, as substitute for limestone in Portland limestone cement )

10 Further Reduction of the Clinker Factor of Cements CO 2 emissions from the Indian cement industry currently average to 0.72 t CO 2 / t cement, targeted to be further reduced to 0.35 t CO 2 / t of cement by 2050, as estimated in the technology road map. The present production of blended cements in India has been around 6570% as against only 36% in Accordingly, the current clinker factor is Further reduction of clinker factor is crucial for achieving the target reduction in CO 2 emission

11 Utilization of Fly Ash

12 Utilization of Fly Ash in Cement and Concrete Indian Standard IS 1489 (Pt.1)2015 (Portland Pozzolana Cement Specifications) specifies 1535 % fly ash in cement and as cement replacement material in concrete. European standard EN197 permits maximum 55 percent pozzolana in pozzolanic cement. Only fly ash meeting the requirements of Indian Standard IS 3812 (Pt.1)2013 can be used in manufacture of PPC and for OPC replacement At present less than 50% of the total fly ash generated (~ 200 million tonnes per annum) gets utilized Various technological options need to be explored for enhancing the utilization level of fly ash.

13 Enhancing the Utilization of Fly Ash in Cement and Concrete The properties of Indian fly ash are significantly different from those of European fly ash, especially in terms of glass and lime content. NCB has investigated a number of approaches for enhancing utilization of fly ash in cement and concrete Improved clinker quality, finer grinding of cement and use of chemical and mineral activators have been found helpful in enhancing fly ash addition level in cement and concrete. Activation of relatively poor quality fly ash and bottom ash through processing may enable their utilization. Improving the quality of fly ash at thermal power plant has also been considered.

14 PROCESSING OF BOTTOM ASH FOR IMPROVED REACTIVITY Of the total ash generated, approximately 20% is bottom ash and It generally has little pozzolanic reactivity. Bottom/pond ash fraction has been used in applications like raw material in tiles and bricks and mineral admixture in cement and concrete Replacement of fine aggregate in concrete by bottom ash have shown promising results Indian Standard IS 3812 (Part 1): 2013 excludes use of bottom ash as pozzolanic cement replacement material in cement mortar and concrete. If sufficient pozzolanic character is obtained through processing, e.g. drying and grinding, bottom ash could find use as a pozzolanic cement replacement material.

15 Enhancing utilization of fly ash in PPC blends Use of Bottom Ash as Pozzolanic Material In a joint study with SINTEF, Norway, two bottom ash samples were systematically characterized and tested as supplementary cementitious materials. Binary blends of OPC and bottom ash were prepared by replacing equal amount of OPC. Ternary blends were prepared by including micro silica in the binary blends as replacement of OPC. The material characterization and evaluation of cement blends were carried out at the National Council for Cement and Building Materials. The results indicated feasibility of using bottom ash after activation by grinding, as pozzolanic material in cement blends

18 TERNARY BLENDS FOR ENHANCED LEVELS OF FLYASH UTILIZATION High fly ash content in cement and concrete bring down the rate of strength gain leading to relatively lower strengths at early ages. Approaches used for enhancing the rate of strength gain of fly ash based cements include use of mineral and chemical activators The addition of mineral additives like silica fume, making a ternary blend of three cementitious minerals, have proved to give promising results. Other pozzolanic materials like rice husk ash and bagasse ash may be used in place of silica fume or microsilica.

20 Manufacture of newer and more sustainable cements The R&D efforts at NCB in the recent past have been directed towards producing more sustainable cements through reduction of clinker factor in cement, enhancing utilization of low grade and waste materials in cement manufacture and developing composite cements, Portland limestone cements as well as nonportland cements such as geopolymeric cements. Blended cement types like Portland limestone cements which are already in use in European countries, are yet to be adopted, standardized and produced in India. Their production would provide additional avenue for lowering clinker factor of cement. Standardization of low clinker factor cements requires thorough and systematic research on Indian materials and weather conditions before these can find application in India.

21 Composite Cement Uses both fly ash and granulated blast furnace slag as the blending components Indian standard specification of composite cement, IS 16415: 2015, formulated only recently The R&D investigations on composite cement carried out at NCB paved the way for formulation of Indian specifications Clinker content of composite cement can be as low as 35 percent; environment friendly cement for sustainable construction. Physical properties of composite cement are specified to be at par with those of PPC and PSC
