Calcium formate has the following effects on carbon emissions in the cement manufacturing

industry:

Accelerate cement hydration to reduce carbon emissions

Calcium formate is a commonly used cement coagulant, which can speed up the hydration reaction of cement. The hydration reaction of cement is sufficient and fast, so that the cement can reach a higher strength in a short time, which means that the energy consumption of cement in the process of curing can be reduced, and the carbon emissions caused by energy use can be indirectly reduced.

- For example, in winter construction, the addition of calcium formate allows the cement to set quickly, reducing energy consumption to maintain the curing temperature, and thus reducing carbon emissions.

Optimize production processes to reduce carbon emissions

Calcium formate can improve the performance of cement slurry and optimize the process parameters in cement production. If it can reduce the water consumption of the cement slurry, improve the fluidity and stability of the cement, make the production process smoother and more efficient, help to improve production efficiency, reduce the energy consumption of the production unit of cement, and thus reduce carbon emissions.

- For example, in the production of special cement, the use of calcium formate can shorten the production cycle, reduce energy consumption, and reduce carbon emissions.

Reducing cement use indirectly reduces carbon emissions

Because calcium formate can improve the early strength of cement, in some engineering applications that require high early strength, it can reduce the amount of cement used to a certain extent. Because of the same engineering strength requirements, the use of calcium formate can be achieved with less cement, thereby indirectly reducing the carbon emissions caused by chemical reactions such as the decomposition of limestone and energy consumption during cement production.

- For example, in road repair projects, the use of calcium formate can reduce the amount of cement by about 20%, effectively reducing carbon emissions.
