AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE USE OF CLAY BEARING DIATOMITES OF KUTAHYA ALAYUNT REGION IN CEMENT PRODUCTION1
Abstract
In this research, the use of clay bearing diatomites from Kütahya-Alayunt region in cement
production as puzzolanic materials was investigated. Cements were produced by adding
clay bearing dioatomites to the cement body by 5%, 10%, and 20% and grinding them
together with clinker materials. After the tests, it was found that 10% and 20% clayed
diatomite addition could be used in 42.5- class cement production. İf the strength of
portland cement clinker was about 50 N/mm2. By utilizing this material, less clinker4 produced at 1450 oC will be needed which means lower emission rates causing
environmental pollutions and a special type of cement can be obtained by using diatomite for lower specific gravity, heat and noise insulation
