... 1 Background Cement kiln dust (CKD) is generated during the production of the cement clinker and is a dust particulate mixture of partially calcined and unreacted raw feed, clinker dust, and ash, enriched with alkali sulfates, halides, and other volatiles (Adaska and Taubert 2008)
From page 2...
... 2 Fresh cement kiln dust Properties Recent and extensive data on CKD chemistry was reported by Williams (2005) for a project that included an in-depth analysis of cement producers scattered throughout the United States and Canada.

... 6 CKD were relatively consistent throughout the 12 years of the operation, although there were noticeable differences in the composition as a result of hydration over time. usage and Production As of 2006, fewer than 20 of the 118 cement plants in the United States managed 90% of the CKD disposed on-site (Adaska and Tauber 2008; PCA 2008)

... 21 • CKD can be used to stabilize subgrade soils and bases; the combination of CKD and fly ash significantly increase the compressive strength because of the pozzolanic reactions. • High-quality bases for pavements can be obtained using CKD, but testing is needed to optimize the performance.
