Abstract

In this study, contents of limestone in cement manufactured by six domestic plants for Portland cement were investigated in terms of the strength and its relation to the $CO_2$ emission due to limestone material and its physical properties in cement manufacturing process. the relationship among CaO content, compressive strength, and $CO_2$ emission was surveyed for the limestone quantity in decomposition reaction and the loss of limestone quantity contained in each cement. As a result of $CO_2$ emission calculation for unit cement, it was found that the $CO_2$ emission due to decomposition of limestone was occupied 67% of total emission quantity. Furthermore, there was a difference in $CO_2$ emission quantity depending on the cement manufacturing process management. Also, it was shown that fossil fuel usage and material loss had a major influence as main factors of $CO_2$ emission. An increase in the CaO content in cement resulted in an increase in the compressive strength. On the contrary, CaO content and compressive strength were reduced with the growth of loss quantity of limestone. It was verified that the material and process management were more effective than CaO yield in cement manufacturing for $CO_2$ emission with the growth of $CO_2$ emission quantity. Pozzolanic materials such as PFA and GGBS in concrete mix affected the price, $CO_2$ emission and development of strength of concrete.

이 연구에서는 시멘트 생산공정에서 석회석 원료에 따른 $CO_2$ 배출량 및 그에 따른 물리적 특성을 파악하기 위해 국내 6개사의 보통포틀랜드시멘트에 대한 CaO 함유량 및 모르타르의 압축강도를 측정하였다. 탈탄산반응 시 발생되는 CaO와 각각의 시멘트에 함유된 석회석의 손실량에 대하여 CaO 함유량 및 압축강도, $CO_2$ 배출량과의 관계를 비교분석하였다. 단위 시멘트에 대한 $CO_2$ 배출량 산정 결과 석회석의 탈탄산에 따른 $CO_2$ 배출량이 전체 배출량의 67%가량 차지하였고, 시멘트 제조 시 공정관리에 따라 $CO_2$ 배출량에 차이가 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 $CO_2$ 배출의 주요 인자로 화석연료의 사용 및 재료 손실률이 지대한 영향을 미친다는 것을 확인하였다. 시멘트 내의 CaO 함유량이 증가함에 따라 압축강도 역시 증가하였으며, CaO 손실량이 클수록 CaO 함유량 및 압축강도는 감소하였으나 $CO_2$ 배출량은 증가함에 따라 시멘트 제조 시 CaO 생성량보다는 재료 및 공정관리가 $CO_2$ 배출에 더 영향력이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 포졸란계 혼화재인 PFA, GGBS를 사용함으로서 이에 따른 가격, $CO_2$ 배출 및 강도증진 효과가 있음을 확인하였다.
