What Does CKD Stand For?

CKD stands for Cement Kiln Dust

CKD, or Cement Kiln Dust, is a byproduct generated during the cement manufacturing process. It consists of fine particulate matter collected from the gases emitted in the production of clinker, the primary ingredient in cement. CKD contains a variety of compounds, including calcium, silica, alumina, and iron, and is often utilized in various applications such as soil stabilization, cement production, and as a filler material in construction. Proper management and utilization of CKD are essential to minimize environmental impacts and enhance sustainability in the cement industry.
