Limestone is the key raw materials for the cement making industry where chemical properties are important. Portland cement is produced by the calcination of finely ground raw mixture of limestone and clay (Bouazza et al, 2016). Cement industry is major player for the construction of infrastructures in the development of any country.

To produce cement, limestone and other clay-like materials are heated in a kiln at 1400°C and then ground to form a lumpy, solid substance called clinker; clinker is then combined with gypsum to form cement. Cement manufacturing is highly energy- and emissions-intensive because of the extreme heat required to produce it.
