The main indices of the cement industry in Sri Lanka are presented. The country has one full-cycle cement plant with an annual clinker production capacity of 900 kt. The bulk of the cement consumed in the country is imported or produced from imported clinker. In 2024...
The article presents the main statistics of the gypsum market in Russia for 2024: volumes and trends of gypsum stone mining, data on the gypsum binder and gypsum building materials markets. The main attention is paid to the situation in the gypsum plasterboard (GPB) ...
The article describes the reconstruction of two cement mills at the Voskresensk cement plant of the CEMENTUM company, carried out by Korfez Foundry. At mill No. 109, the armor lining of the 1st chamber was replaced. At mill No. 112, in addition, the inter-chamber par...
Cement grinding is the final and most energyintensive stage in cement production, accounting for 30–40 % of total electrical energy consumption in a typical cement plant.
As global pressure mounts to reduce carbon emissions and enhance energy efficiency, innova...
In the cement industry, where continuous production and high-capacity equipment are essential, maintenance plays a pivotal role in ensuring operational reliability. Cement plants operate in harsh conditions, dust, high temperatures, heavy loads, which makes equipment...
The movement of material particles in a conical hopper was investigated using the variational principle to determine their trajectory. A mathematical model based on minimizing the energy of particle flows (“streamlines”) was developed, which allowed calculating the ...
The history of cement production development in Brazil and standardization of this material in the country is covered. At present, the current Brazilian cement standard provides for seven types of general-purpose Portland cement, differing in material composition and...
Limestone calcined clay cement (LC3) offers a promising pathway for the cement industry to reduce its carbon footprint while maintaining performance and cost effectiveness. LC3 nearly doubles the cement output per tonne of clinker, driven by its low clinker factor (0...
Robotization of construction through the use of additive technologies is one of the most promising areas for increasing labor efficiency in the construction industry. The technology of 3D-printing of enclosing structures with polystyrene concrete proposed in the arti...
The article presents the results of an experimental study on determining the strength and deformation characteristics of concrete manufactured using additive technologies. The tests of 3D-concrete were performed to determine the compressive strength, compressive mod...
