Limestone is an essential component of the Iron and steel industry. It is used as a flux in steel making. India produces around 2% of the steel-grade limestone annually. The production of steel-grade limestone is around 7.5 million tonnes. However, the apparent demand in the country is around 11.5 million tonnes.
Details
Reduced Strength: If too much lime is added to the mix, it can reduce the strength of the material. This is because lime is not as strong as cement and can weaken the overall structure of the material. Increased Cost: Adding lime to cement-based materials can increase the cost of the project, as lime is more expensive than cement.

blended cement allows for 5% to 15% limestone replacement in PLC. Either way, the same clinker is used to make portland cement and portland-limestone cement. There's just less of it in PLC. Portland cement can contain up to 5% limestone along with the clinker. Portland-limestone cement can contain from 5% to 15% limestone along with the clinker.

Since there is hardly any alternative to using limestone for making cement, it is treated as one among the most essential resources of a coun-try. However, given its importance in the economy of any nation, our understanding of the genesis, occurrence, composition, properties, min-ing, and application of limestone is rather poor.

Limestone calcined clay cement (LC3) is a promising alternative to traditional cement as it can significantly reduce carbon emissions in the cement industry. LC3 is a low-carbon cement that is made by blending limestone and calcined clay, which is a type of clay that has been fired at high temperatures.

The main features of these cement ingredients along with their functions and usefulness or harmfulness are given below: Lime: Lime is calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide. The presence of lime in a sufficient quantity is required to form silicates and aluminates of calcium. Deficiency in lime reduces the strength of the property to the cement.

The Portland Cement Association's proposal to allow limestone additions cites two benefits: reduced energy con- sumption and reduced emissions, solid wastes (cement kiln dust) and raw ma- terial usage. These benefits, say sup- porters of the revision, would be achieved without a harmful effect on cement performance.

Cements and is designated Type IL – blended hydraulic cement with a limestone content between 5% and 15% by mass of the blended cement. An example is: Type IL (10) is 90% portland cement and 10% limestone. The limestone is typically added to replace a portion of the clinker during the final grinding stage in cement production.

The maximum size of coarse aggregate is typically 19 mm or 25 mm (3/4 in. or 1 in.). An intermediate-sized aggregate, around 9.5 mm (3/8 in.), is sometimes added to improve the overall aggregate gradation. Since aggregates make up about 60% to 75% of the total volume of concrete, their selection is important.
