This work deals with intensification of cement with added mineral additives grinding process. It has been shown that effective grinding aid should be multicomponent and contains substances, which have different mecha-nism of action affecting cement grinding process. Effectiveness of salts-electrolytes as grinding aids and multicomponent grinding aids which contain this salts were determined. Investigations of total surface area, particle size distribution, total heat development of milling cement and durability of cement stone samples were performed.
