1. INTRODUCTION
OrdinaryPortlandCement(OPC),theprimary ingredientinmakingconcrete,hugequantityof cementisutilizedforvariousengineeringprojects, is becoming a costly and energy-intensive commodity.Bytherecentyears,itisprojectedthat theworld'sneedforcementwillhaveincreasedby threetimes,toaround3.5billiontonnes.Despite theenormousdemand,relativelyfewrawresources areneededtoproducecement.Inadditiontobeing an expensive operation, making cement has worrying environmental effects due to CO2 emissions,whichareamajorcontributortoglobal warming.AccordingtoBhanumathidasandMehta (2001),theproductionofonetonneofcement requirestheuseofalmost1.5tonnesofearth
