Recycled clinker for circular construction
What is clinker? Clinker is the main ingredient in cement, produced by a tightly controlled industrial process that normally uses quarried limestone and other materials. The breakthrough trial in Altkirch used recycled materials, ranging from wood ash to waste from mineral processing, largely from local sources.
Everything you need to know about clinker/cement Grinding
Large alites means over-burnt clinker thus it's harder to grind. Clinker with a lot of pores are easier to crush. Some (not all) plants can monitor their grindability by watching the clinker literweights. As it rises, the clinker becomes over-burnt; sometimes balls up into bigger pieces; and sometimes it gets very dense (no pores).
Our 2050 Roadmap
Clinker is produced by heating crushed limestone and a mix of other materials (clay and sand) to 1450 °C in a rotary kiln. Clinker is later ground down to a fine powder and mixed with gypsum and other ingredients to make cement. ...
