“…The amounts of CaO, Fe 2 O 3 , and MgO are largely similar in the samples gathered from the sites. Fe 2 O 3 ranges from 2.1 to 3.0% with an average 2.6%; some of ferrous (Fe 2+ ) could replace Mg 2+ in dolomite and/or the clay/shales associations 39 . The domination of calcite and lack of dolomite is reflected in the low content of the MgO which ranged from 1.6 to 1.9% with an average of (1.8%).…”

This study investigated the geochemical and mineralogical characteristics combined with heavy elements concentrations of Cement kiln dust (CKD) in Ain Sukhna industrial area, North‐western part of the Gulf of Suez, Egypt and the influence of flash floods in its stability. Flooding severity is moderate with several water erosional processes. The CKD characterized by very poorly sorted/very fine‐sands to silt. CaO and SiO2 are major components with enrichment of chloride/sulfate ions. High enrichment of Sr, Zn, Pb, Cd, Sb, and Se are related to variations in shale/limestone feeds during cement formation. The threshold effect level exceeds the standard value for Cd, Pb, and Zn at S3 that indicates adverse biological effects. Sylvite, calcite, and halite minerals were dominated. Three main principal components recognized the shale, calcium/magnesium carbonate dissolution, and the scavenging effect of sulfate for heavy elements. Monitoring the CKD leachability and proper management plans are prerequisite for environmental protection in the future.

The marl rocks of Fat'haFormation in Wasit Governorate in the Zurbatiyah Area East-Iraq for the purpose of studying their suitability in the cement industries. Chemical, physical and engineering tests were carried out on the rocks of the study area. The chemical tests of the marl rocks showed that the calcium oxide range between 37.12-45.9% with average 41.42%. Silicaoxide ranged from 13.11-23.4 with average 17.37% as well as a appropriate percentage of iron and aluminum oxides and very low percentage of sulfur and magnesium oxides. The physical tests showed high values of dry density and true specific gravity. In addition, the porosity values are moderate while the values of water absorption are moderately too. The uniaxial compressive strength values classified as moderately strong. These results of the study are identical and within the permissible limits of the marl rocks in the cement industry.
