Industrial minerals as engineered systems: cement -- 2

Describe on an annotated flow sheet the life cycle of cement as an industrial mineral. You should describe the mass flows of raw materials, products, and by-products as a basis for the diagram. It should also include the major processes in the life cycle (e.g. limestone extraction, waste disposal), and their associated energy/financial costs (where appropriate/available).  I am looking for professional standard presentation of graphics that balances content with presentation effectiveness. Submissions should be an A3 print-out in landscape  Life cycle means from ‘cradle to cradle’.  Be explicit with the boundaries of your assessment.  You may want to describe the cement industry as a whole (e.g. the UK tonnes of X per year), or normalise the mass flow (e.g. tonnes of X per tonne of cement)  It is more important to pull together a well defined conceptual model, than trying to constrain the mass flows.  Use correct symbols were appropriate.
