VDZ's Education and Training Programme 2022/23 ranges from the teaching of technical basics to the imparting of special technical knowledge and education courses for managers. VDZ offers individual, tailor-made seminars on the topics of clinker and cement production, maintenance, quality assurance, environmental protection and concrete technology. Almost all seminars can also be designed and implemented as inhouse seminars according to individual customer requirements.

Short research report on IGF project 20656 N, in which the potential of separate fine grinding for practical use and separate fine grinding using scalable grinding plants was investigated.

Forschungsbericht zum IGF-Projekt 20514N, in dem die technisch-wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen einer Minderung der Quecksilberfrachten im Abgasweg von Zementdrehrohrofenanlagen durch eine sorbensunterstützte Staubausschleusung sowie Möglichkeiten der Optimierung untersucht werden sollten.

With its "Education and Training Programme 2021/22" VDZ supports the efforts of the industry to be successful in the long term through consistent qualification of the workforce. VDZ ensures efficient and practical learning by providing a wide range of vocational training courses and (online) seminars covering technical basics, special technical knowledge and education courses for managers.

The "Environmental data of the German cement industry 2020" prove that cement manufacturers are facing up to the environmental challenges of our time and informing the public about them in a transparent way. The focus is on the topics of climate neutrality by 2050, saving primary raw materials, and air pollution control.

Executive Summary of the VDZ Study

Here you will find information about our corporate philosophy.

VDZ's environmental data reflect that the German cement industry invests decisively in plant optimisation. This keeps them in a leading role worldwide in terms of environmental compatibility, alternative fuels and plant energy efficiency.

Um die puzzolanische Reaktion der bei verschiedenen Temperaturen calcinierten Werkstone ohne den Einfluss des Zementklinkers zu untersuchen, wurden vier verschiedene Tonbrände (W1-800, W2-1300, W3-800 und W3-1200) ausgewählt und im Gemisch mit Calciumhydroxid und Calciumcarbonat hydratisiert.

Um das Verfahren zur Bestimmung des Zementgehaltes mittels µ-RFA (aus IGF 17829 N) zuverlässig im Beton einsetzen zu können, wurde geprüft, inwieweit weitere Randparameter, wie z. B. die Sieblinie und damit ggf. höhere Feinanteile der Gesteinskörnung sowie der w/z-Wert oder erhöhte Luftporengehalte die Bestimmung des Zement- bzw. Bindemittelgehaltes beeinflussen.

Ziel des Forschungsvorhabens war es, den Einfluss von Nebenoxiden aus Brennstoffaschen auf die Bildungstemperaturen der Klinkerschmelze und auf die damit verbundene Klinkermineralogie herauszuarbeiten. Ebenso sollten die Auswirkungen der verringerten Prozesstemperatur und der veränderten Eigenschaften der Klinkerschmelze auf die notwendige Bildung von Coatingschichten sowie die Feuerfestkorrosion und damit auf die Haltbarkeit der feuerfesten Zustellung in der Sinterzone des Drehrohrofens aufgeklärt werden.

The research activities continued the project “Low alkali cements with fly ash” (IGF 17249N) with two main targets. Firstly the effects of different characteristics of cements with fly ash on the release of aluminium into the pore solution are investigated. Secondly it was investigated how much each of the examined mechanisms (reduction of the alkali ion concentration, reduction of portlandite availability, release of aluminium into the pore solution, change of the cement stone microstructure) contributes to the prevention of a deleterious ASR.

Aim of the project was to improve the early strength performance of blastfurnace cements by a systematic adjustment of the clinker phase composition and/or addition of mineralisers in the clinker production process.
