The project is aimed at a significant decrease in emissions originating from the calcination of raw materials in the clinker kiln at high temperatures at Kryvyi Rih Cement plant, one of the major cement producers in Central Ukraine. Emissions from calcination can be decreased by adding of alternative raw materials (AMCs), which do not contain
carbonates. Such alternative materials are metallurgical slag of different types or ashes generated at power plants that use coal fuel. The more slag in the raw mill, the less CO2 is emitted during the burning of materials in the kiln.
