Portland Cement: A Concrete History With Structural Integrity
The composite material, consisting of three key raw materials, is a hydraulic cement. It works through a process called hydration, which entails adding water to dry cement particles or powder. This initiates a chemical reaction, causing the cement to harden and form a solid mass. The hydration process forms calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) gel ...

What is the manufacturing process of Portland Cement?
William Aspdin made what could be called 'meso-Portland cement' (a mix of Portland cement and hydraulic lime).Isaac Charles Johnson further refined the production of 'meso-Portland cement' (middle stage of development), and claimed to be the real father of Portland cement. In 1859, John Grant of the Metropolitan Board of Works, set out …

Ladle metallurgy stainless steel slag as a raw material in …
For clinker production all raw materials were individually milled in a centrifugal mill (Retsch ZM100) at a particle size <80 μm. The LM slag was used as it came out of sieving (<160 μm) and there was no need for milling as the d 50 was below 50 μm. Particle size distribution of LM slag was analysed by laser diffraction (MasterSizer Micro ...
Fines extracted from recycled concrete as alternative raw material …
No major influence on the mineralogy of the final clinker was demonstrated by using recycled fines as alternative raw material. It was shown that the three generated ARMs could replace Classic Raw Materials (CRM), primarily SiO 2-sources, but also limestone CRMs by an increasing CaO content [wt%] of the ARM. However, a. …
Waste Glass Valorization as Raw Material in the Production …
2.2. Design and Preparation of Clinkers and Cements. To valorize waste glass as a raw material in the manufacture of Portland cement, the recipes of raw mixes were calculated considering the substitution of sand (often used as a corrective addition for the silica ratio) with waste glass (WG).
