Beside limestone, other primary raw materials are marl, chalk, clay and claystone, gypsum, sand and small quantities of iron ore. The availability of raw materials is the determining factor in the location of cement plants (Figure 1) and accordingly they are mostly located in close proximity to huge limestone or marl deposits.
