New approach suggests path to emissions-free cement
Ordinary Portland cement, the most widely used standard variety, is made by grinding up limestone and then cooking it with sand and clay at high heat, which is produced by burning coal. The process produces carbon dioxide in two different ways: from the burning of the coal, and from gases released from the limestone during the heating.

Silica is a convenient abbreviation for silicon dioxide (SiO 2); it can be found in crystalline, amorphous, and moisturized form, or the hydroxylated form, also designated as silanol or siloxane [].In addition, this chemical compound is found in tetrahedral units (SiO 4), which allows forming a three-dimensional crystalline network through the oxygen …
Silica | The Canadian Encyclopedia
Silica sand is used as a metallurgical flux to lower the melting point in the base metal industry; as foundry sand for metal castings; as frac-sand to increase porosity and thus increase oil and gas recovery; as an abrasive for sandblasting; and as filler material in tile, asbestos pipe, concrete and bricks. Silica deposits occur throughout Canada.
