1. Introduction. The term chemical additives or grinding aids (GAs) refers to any substance which results in increased grinding efficiency and reduction in power consumption when added to the mill charge (amounts not exceeding wt.% of the feed) during grinding [1], [2], [3].The use of grinding aids to increase mill throughput is quite common in the cement industry [2], [4], [5].
Milling and grinding are two common machining processes performed in the manufacturing industry. They both involve the removal of material from a workpiece, and they both support a wide variety of materials. Whether a workpiece is made of iron, aluminum, steel, copper or any other metal or alloy, it can probably be manipulated via milling or ...

An enormous amount of energy is consumed for the grinding process during cement production. More than a half of the energy consumed for cement production is used for grinding process of clinker (38%) and raw material (33%). In order to decrease the greenhouse gas emission, it is critically important to reduce the energy used for comminution.
Cement production process typically involves: • grinding limestone (and other raw materials to achieve the right chemical composition) to about 90% passing 90 μm in a dry circuit, • making cement by the chemical reaction between the components of the ground mixture. This chemical reaction occurs at high temperature in a rotary kiln, •
