Greenhouse gases in the production of cement using marble dust as raw material

Abstract

There is a real need to apply the principles of sustainability to the industry, and specifically the construction sector that consumes high resources. Within the same, the cement industry generates high levels of emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions to the atmosphere, and there are a large number of research lines to reduce the CO2. The option that has been followed in this research is the replacement of cement raw materials, where the reduction of GHG emissions is achieved by adding the residue from the manufacturing of natural stone, the cement manufacturing process. The relevance of this exhibition lies in the different scenarios that arise in the implementation of the waste and the effects of reducing emissions as well as recovery of waste.
