Utilization of waste marble dust as an additive in cement production

Abstract In this experimental study, the usability of waste marble dust (WMD) as an additive material in blended cement has been investigated. For this purpose, waste marble dust added cements (WMDCs) have been obtained by intergrinding WMD with Portland cement clinker at different blend ratios: 2.5%, 5.0%, 7.5% and 10% by weight. 40 × 40 × 160 mm mortar prisms have been produced with the obtained cements. Strength tests have been carried out on mortar specimen at 7, 28, and 90 days. WMDCs have been compared to each other as well as to control cements of CEM I and CEM II with respect to their physical, chemical and mechanical properties. Obtained results showed that WMDCs conform to EN 197-1 standard and thus 10% WMD can be used as an additive material in cement manufacturing.
