Cement Notes 2nd LE ChE 145

The document summarizes the cement manufacturing process. It discusses the raw materials used which include clay, limestone, silica sand, and pyrite. It also mentions other materials like gypsum that are used. The manufacturing process involves quarrying, crushing, raw milling, clinkering, and finish milling. Clinkering involves heating the raw materials to over 1500°C to produce calcium oxide. The final products are Portland cement and pozzolan cement, with Portland being slightly more expensive but attaining higher strength faster.

CEMENT MANUFACTURING 2.

Pozzolana
Grand Gascon - also known as pozzolanic ash,
which is predominantly composed
Cement – binding material used in building of fine volcanic glass
and civil engineering construction - can be used to partially replace
Portland cement, reducing clinker

Joseph Aspdin ▪ Fly ash – an alternative


- from England pozzolanic material
- in 1824 took out a patent for Portland
Cement (a material that was produced 3. Coal
from a synthetic mixture of limestone - a sedimentary deposit composed
and clay) predominantly of carbon that is
readily combustible
Taiheiyo
- the Japanese term for Pacific Ocean. MANUFACTURING PROCESS:

1. Clay (20%) 1. Quarrying


- also called Kaolinite or Aluminum - process of extracting natural
oxide (Al2O3) minerals such as Limestone, Silica,
- help improve the plasticity of cement and Clay from the earth

2. Limestone (70%) 2. Crushing


- a sedimentary rock composed - primary size reduction process of
principally of Calcite or Calcium the ore from the quarry area
carbonate (CaO3) (Wobbler Crusher)
- excellent source of CaO
3. Raw Milling
3. Silica Sand (7%) - The proportioning, drying and size
- contain at least 95% Silicon dioxide reduction of the raw materials in the

1. Gypsum
- soft sulfate mineral composed of - CaO is the ingredient needed in
calcium sulfate dihydrate Cement making, not CaCO3
(CaSO4·2H2O)
- regulate the setting time of cement
5. Finish Milling
- The fine grinding of clinker together
with gypsum and the pozzolana
mineral in ball mills to produce the
finish products Portland and
Pozzolanic Cement

6. Bagging
- The final phase in the
manufacturing process where the
cement products are packed into
40-kg or 1,000-kg bags.
