Abstract
The CO2 released during the production of cement is one of the major factors that affect the environmental pollution. In order to gain 1 ton CEM I cement, approximately 900 kg CO2 receiver is let out to the environment. Taking that the cement production all around the world is nearly 3 billion tones into account, it can be considered how much the flue gasses released by the cement factories affects the greenhouse gas formation. Thus, using excessive cement in concrete production causes an increase in environmental pollution. By using the construction chemicals in order to produce concrete, more qualified concrete can be provided as using less cement, the unit manufacturing cost can be reduced and a major contribution can be provided for preventing the environmental pollution. 1 Ref.
