The article explores using waste fibrecement as a sustainable raw material in making Portland clinker. The researchers conducted simulations to optimize the waste's use in clinker kilns, considering its composition and impact on energy consumption and carbon footprint. They then produced experimental clinkers with realistic waste dosages and thoroughly analyzed them. The findings suggest that waste fibrecement can be a viable alternative raw material for sustainable clinker production.
