66 (MIP), it can be concluded that both ashes contribute to the refill of the mortar capillary pores with the pozzolanic reaction products leading to a redistribution of the pore size. This PSD curve is flatter at 28 days than at seven days of curing. 4. The water demand for normal consistency increases when the amount of ashes increases in the cement independently of the type of ash used. 5. Consequently, ground coal bottom ash alone or mixed with coal fly ash is suitable to be used in cement production as a new main component in the Portland cement standards. End Notes In the product like cement which is primarily a low value product, with high incidence of taxes and duties, high energy costs, the avenues available to a plant for reducing its costs are limited. In the present environment due to energy crisis and steep increase in the cost of energy and other input materials, it has become imperative to give serious thought on how to make operations and equipment efficient towards use of energy and adoption of latest technology equipment to retain the requisite competitive edge in the market. Thus, costs cement manufacturing costs can be reduced by utilization of POND ASH Drying Combustion Chamber References 1. THE CEMENT INSTITUTE, NY, USA, 2. CPBC & HOLTEC 3. ICR RESEARCH 4.
