Abstract

Cement industries globally produced about 2.282 billion ton/year and 25 billion tons of concrete are produced yearly
all over the world, necessary measures are to be taken to reduce energy use along with the prevention of environmental
degradation, depletion of the limited resources and contribute 7% to global warming effects due to the release of carbon
dioxide to the atmosphere. Cement additives quality improver polymer (CAQIP) was developed from synthesized polymer,
waste materials derived from petro-chemical and palm oil waste for production of sustainable cement. Industrial scale
trial in a local cement plants by dosing 0.009%-0.690% CAQIP significant improved productivity, 8.3-27.5% efficiency in
saving, 24.73-86.36% clinkering energy and 7.7-21.57% grinding energy in the production of Ordinary Portland Cement
and sustainable cement. Strength quality improved 7.31-34.8% (2 day) and 3.85-57.58% (28 day). Carbon dioxide and
others toxic gases emission was reduced 21.90-90.0% by replacing clinker with waste material such as fly ash (25-
35%), out-spec clinker (50-100%) and limestone waste (5-25%). The developed CAQIP significant improved productivity,
quality strength, reduced CO2
emission, grinding & clinkering energy and enhanced production of sustainable cement
and concrete in Malaysia.
