This study analyzes high-grade carbonate rocks from several strategic deposits in the
Arabian Peninsula and neighboring countries. The rocks are used locally for quicklime and …

Quicklime is produced through the thermal processing of limestone in industrial kilns. During
quarry operations, fine particulate quarry dust adheres to limestone lump surfaces …

Geopolymers have emerged as a promising alternative to Portland cement for oil and gas
wells. Achieving effective zonal isolation by use of geopolymers may require controlling their …

The presented paper aims to describe the influence of accelerating admixtures on the
properties and microstructure of cement pastes and mortars. Blended slag cement CEM …

The overburning test method was developed to simulate and predict lime densification,
agglomeration, and sporadic melting at the highest potential temperature of lime kilns …

The production of quicklime and cement clinker are energy-intensive processes resulting in
significant CO2 emissions. Fuel switching, electrified heating, and carbon capture have …

In this article, the role of the reactivity of different heat-treated calcium oxides on the
properties of a granite-based geopolymer was investigated for low-temperature application …

The main process of thermal decomposition of limestones can be described as the
decomposition of calcium carbonate due to thermal stress. During this process, there are …

Steelmaking is the process of producing steel from iron ore and/or scrap. In steelmaking,
impurities such as nitrogen, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur and excess carbon (the most …
