3.1 CO2 Cement Production - IPCC
emitted during cement production by fossil fuel combustion. However, ... is heated in a rotary kiln to induce a series of complex chemical reactions (IPCC Guidelines). Specifically, CO2 is released as a by-product during calcination, which occurs in the upper, cooler end of the kiln, or a precalciner, at temperatures of 600-900°C, and results in the conversion of carbonates to oxides.
