A TECHNICAL INTRODUCTION TO Portland- Limestone …
While Portland cement may contain up to 5% ground limestone, Portland-limestone cement is made by intergrinding up to 15% limestone, reducing the amount of clinker required. By reducing the amount of clinker used in the manufacturing process, the associated energy demand and process emissions per tonne of PLC is reduced.
