Abstract
Oil shale can be utilized in manufacturing the Portland cement. In addition to the utilization of the spent oil shale after combustion, it can also reduce the required temperature for the clinkering reactions. A study on the Jordanian oil shale was performed to maximize the use of oil shale in the cement industry. Jordanian oil shale can be used up 15% with the typical raw materials to produce cement without altering the properties of cement. The corresponding temperature for this ratio was found to be around 1300°C. An optimized blend ratio of 22% oil shale ash, 25% Kaolinite, and 53% calcite was also obtained. The optimum operating temperatures for this optimized blend ratio were found to be between 1300°C-1350°C.
