In almost all cases, the limestone used in PLC is the same limestone used as a raw material for cementmaking at that plant. This makes sense not only because the supply is relatively unlimited and low in cost, but because most cement plants use a limestone raw material that is more conducive to grinding than, say, dolomitic limestone or related

The tested material is a good quality and purity. From the chemical composition point of view the tested limestone has a high content of about 96% CaCO3, with small amount of clay minerals and with traces of quartz, which corresponds to the medium purity limestone. It was confirmed, that this limestone is suitable for cement production.

The limestone acts as a seed crystal for the cement, better distributing the reaction products and increasing the reactivity of the cement. As there is always unhydrated cement in the concrete, this change will have no real measurable effect on the use of fly ash. The cement might have a reduced water demand, and the coarser cement gradation

In some of cement plants at Bazian district, the used chert–claystone deposit ranges from 2.5 to 3.3 ton/ 10 tons of raw mix (limestone and claystone). The used amount depends on the type of the used raw mix. This means the used silica amount by those cement plants ranges from 25 to 33%, which is higher than the normal used amounts (Table 2).

Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed primarily of calcite, a calcium carbonate mineral with a chemical composition of CaCO 3. It usually forms in clear, calm, warm, shallow marine waters. Limestone is usually a biological sedimentary rock, forming from the accumulation of shell, coral, algal, fecal, and other organic debris.

Since a form of calcium carbonate, usually limestone, is the predominant raw material, most plants are situated near a limestone quarry or receive this material from a source via inexpensive transportation. Cement manufacturing begins with quarrying operations in which limestone in mines is quarried and brought to crusher for crushing.
