Portland cement was invented in 1824 and is made by heating limestone and clay in a kiln. It is the most common type of cement used worldwide in concrete construction. The manufacturing process involves quarrying raw materials, crushing, blending, burning in a kiln at high temperatures, cooling and grinding to a fine powder. The chemical reactions that occur create clinker which is then ground and mixed with gypsum. There are various types of Portland cement used for different applications depending on strength, setting time, or sulfate resistance requirements.
Cement is a binding agent that sets and hardens after mixing with water. Romans first developed hydraulic cement by mixing volcanic ash with lime. Portland cement, the most common type today, was invented in 1824 and consists of calcium silicates and other compounds. It is produced through a process of grinding raw materials like limestone and clay, heating the mixture in a kiln to form clinker, then grinding the clinker with gypsum. The clinker compounds hydrate and harden when mixed with water. Cement is primarily used to bind sand, gravel and water into concrete for construction applications.

Cement is produced through a process involving crushing and grinding raw materials such as limestone and clay, heating the materials in a kiln to form clinker, cooling and grinding the clinker, and adding gypsum. The main raw materials used are limestone, clay, iron oxide, and aluminum oxide. During the heating process in a rotary kiln, the raw materials undergo chemical reactions to form calcium silicates and calcium aluminates which fuse together to form clinker. Gypsum is added to the ground clinker to regulate the setting time of cement.

Cement is produced by heating limestone and clay at high temperatures to form clinker, which is then ground with gypsum. The key compounds formed are tricalcium silicate, dicalcium silicate, tricalcium aluminate, and tetracalcium aluminoferrite. When mixed with water, cement undergoes hydration reactions that cause it to harden over time. Tricalcium silicate reacts rapidly and contributes to early strength, while dicalcium silicate reacts slowly and provides later strength. Tricalcium aluminate also reacts quickly but is retarded by gypsum addition. The reactions are exothermic and generate heat.

Measuring gravitational attraction with a lattice atom interferometerSérgio Sacani
Despite being the dominant force of nature on large scales, gravity remains relatively
elusive to precision laboratory experiments. Atom interferometers are powerful tools
for investigating, for example, Earth’s gravity1
, the gravitational constant2
, deviations
from Newtonian gravity3–6
and general relativity7
. However, using atoms in free fall
limits measurement time to a few seconds8
, and much less when measuring
interactions with a small source mass2,5,6,9
. Recently, interferometers with atoms
suspended for 70 s in an optical-lattice mode fltered by an optical cavity have been
demonstrated10–14. However, the optical lattice must balance Earth’s gravity by
applying forces that are a billionfold stronger than the putative signals, so even tiny
imperfections may generate complex systematic efects. Thus, lattice interferometers
have yet to be used for precision tests of gravity. Here we optimize the gravitational
sensitivity of a lattice interferometer and use a system of signal inversions to suppress
and quantify systematic efects. We measure the attraction of a miniature source mass
to be amass = 33.3 ± 5.6stat ± 2.7syst nm s−2, consistent with Newtonian gravity, ruling out
‘screened ffth force’ theories3,15,16 over their natural parameter space. The overall
accuracy of 6.2 nm s−2 surpasses by more than a factor of four the best similar
measurements with atoms in free fall5,6
. Improved atom cooling and tilt-noise
suppression may further increase sensitivity for investigating forces at sub-millimetre

Mapping the Growth of Supermassive Black Holes as a Function of Galaxy Stella...Sérgio Sacani
The growth of supermassive black holes is strongly linked to their galaxies. It has been shown that the population
mean black hole accretion rate (BHAR) primarily correlates with the galaxy stellar mass (Må) and redshift for the
general galaxy population. This work aims to provide the best measurements of BHAR as a function of Må and
redshift over ranges of 109.5 < Må < 1012 Me and z < 4. We compile an unprecedentedly large sample with 8000
active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and 1.3 million normal galaxies from nine high-quality survey fields following a
wedding cake design. We further develop a semiparametric Bayesian method that can reasonably estimate BHAR
and the corresponding uncertainties, even for sparsely populated regions in the parameter space. BHAR is
constrained by X-ray surveys sampling the AGN accretion power and UV-to-infrared multiwavelength surveys
sampling the galaxy population. Our results can independently predict the X-ray luminosity function (XLF) from
the galaxy stellar mass function (SMF), and the prediction is consistent with the observed XLF. We also try adding
external constraints from the observed SMF and XLF. We further measure BHAR for star-forming and quiescent
galaxies and show that star-forming BHAR is generally larger than or at least comparable to the quiescent BHAR.

Complement Activation Pathways: Key Mechanisms in Immune Defensedeepsarao2001
The complement system is a key part of the immune response, made up of proteins that eliminate pathogens. It is activated through three main pathways:
Classical Pathway: Triggered by antibodies bound to antigens on a pathogen's surface.
Lectin Pathway: Initiated by mannose-binding lectin binding to sugars on pathogens.
Alternative Pathway: Activated spontaneously on pathogen surfaces without antibodies.
All pathways converge to form C3 convertase, leading to the destruction of pathogens by marking them for immune attack and creating pores in their membranes. This process enhances the body's ability to fight infections quickly and effectively.
The Limited Role of the Streaming Instability during Moon and Exomoon FormationSérgio Sacani
It is generally accepted that the Moon accreted from the disk formed by an impact between the proto-Earth and
impactor, but its details are highly debated. Some models suggest that a Mars-sized impactor formed a silicate
melt-rich (vapor-poor) disk around Earth, whereas other models suggest that a highly energetic impact produced a
silicate vapor-rich disk. Such a vapor-rich disk, however, may not be suitable for the Moon formation, because
moonlets, building blocks of the Moon, of 100 m–100 km in radius may experience strong gas drag and fall onto
Earth on a short timescale, failing to grow further. This problem may be avoided if large moonlets (?100 km)
form very quickly by streaming instability, which is a process to concentrate particles enough to cause gravitational
collapse and rapid formation of planetesimals or moonlets. Here, we investigate the effect of the streaming
instability in the Moon-forming disk for the first time and find that this instability can quickly form ∼100 km-sized
moonlets. However, these moonlets are not large enough to avoid strong drag, and they still fall onto Earth quickly.
This suggests that the vapor-rich disks may not form the large Moon, and therefore the models that produce vaporpoor disks are supported. This result is applicable to general impact-induced moon-forming disks, supporting the
previous suggestion that small planets (<1.6 R⊕) are good candidates to host large moons because their impactinduced disks would likely be vapor-poor. We find a limited role of streaming instability in satellite formation in an
impact-induced disk, whereas it plays a key role during planet formation.

CYTOCHROME P-450 BASED DRUG INTERACTION.pptxPRAMESHPANWAR1
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes are a large family of heme-containing enzymes found primarily in the liver. They play a critical role in the metabolism of a wide variety of substances, including drugs, toxins, and endogenous compounds such as hormones and fatty acids. The name "P450" comes from the absorption peak at 450 nm when the enzyme is bound to carbon monoxide. These enzymes facilitate oxidation reactions, which often make substances more water-soluble and easier to excrete from the body.
CYP enzymes are involved in numerous drug interactions due to their ability to metabolize medications. These interactions can lead to altered drug levels, resulting in either reduced efficacy or increased toxicity. Key CYP enzymes include CYP3A4, CYP2D6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP1A2, each responsible for the metabolism of different drugs.
But in this slide share, we only study the drug interaction of the cytochrome P450 enzyme.
Understanding the function and interactions of CYP enzymes is essential in pharmacology to ensure safe and effective drug therapy.
It also includes the mechanisms of drug interaction, i.e., enzyme inhibition and enzyme induction, with proper examples and explained in easy language.
I hope you find it useful.

Mites normally feed on the undersurface of the leaves but the symptoms are more easily seen on the uppersurface.
Tetranychids produce blotching (Spots) on the leaf-surface.
Tarsonemids and Eriophyids produce distortion (twist), puckering (Folds) or stunting (Short) of leaves.
Eriophyids produce distinct galls or blisters (fluid-filled sac in the outer layer)
Cultivation of human viruses and its different techniques.MDAsifKilledar
Viruses are extremely small, infectious agents that invade cells of all types. These have been culprits in many human disease including small pox,flu,AIDS and ever present common cold as well as plants bacteria and archea .
Viruses cannot multiply outside the living host cell, However the isolation, enumeration and identification become a difficult task. Instead of chemical medium they require a host body.
Viruses can be cultured in the animals such as mice ,monkeys, rabbits and guinea pigs etc. After inoculation animals are carefully examined for the development of signs or symptoms, further they may be killed.
3. Introduction and History
Definition: “Cement is a crystalline compound of calcium
silicates and other calcium compounds having hydraulic
properties” (Macfadyen, 2006).
Lime and clay have been used as cementing material on
constructions through many centuries.
Romans are commonly given the credit for the development of
hydraulic cement, the most significant incorporation of the
Roman’s was the use of pozzolan-lime cement by mixing
volcanic ash from the Mt. Vesuvius with lime.
Best know surviving example is the Pantheon in Rome
In 1824 Joseph Aspdin from England invented the Portland
cement

4. History
The early days:
– Setting stone blocks without cementing them
– Mud mixed with straw is the oldest cementing
material used to bind dried bricks
Pyramid of Cheops ( Egypt)

6. History of Cement
Non-hydraulic cements
Gypsum and lime
Cements based on compounds of lime (calcareous
cements)
Gypsum
Calcining impure gypsum at 130°C
Add water calcined gypsum and water recombine
Cannot harden under water because gypsum is quite
soluble.
Pyramid of Cheops (3000 B.C.)

9. Types of Cement
Cements are considered hydraulic because of their ability to
set and harden under or with excess water through the
hydration of the cement’s chemical compounds or minerals.
•There are two types:
Those that activate with the addition of water
Pozzolanic that develop hydraulic properties when interact with
hydrated lime Ca(OH)2
Pozzolanic: any siliceous material that develops hydraulic
cementitious properties when interacted with hydrated lime.
HYDRAULIC CEMENTS:
Hydraulic lime: Only used in specialized mortars. Made from
calcination of clay-rich lime stones.
Natural cements: Misleadingly called Roman. It is made from
argillaceous lime stones or inter bedded limestone and clay or shale,
with few raw materials. Because they were found to be inferior to
Portland,most plants switched.
9
10. Portland cement: Artificial cement. Made by the mixing clinker
with gypsum in a 95:5 ratio.
Portland-limestone cements: Large amounts (6% to 35%) of
ground limestone have been added as a filler to a Portland
cement base.
Blended cements: Mix of Portland cement with one or more
SCM (supplementary Cemetitious Materials) like pozzolanic
additives.
Pozzolan-lime cements: Original Roman cements. Only a
small quantity is manufactured in the U.S. Mix of pozzolans with
lime.
Masonry cements: Portland cement where other materials
have been added primarily to impart plasticity.
Aluminous cements: Limestone and bauxite are the main raw
10
11. Aluminous cements:
Limestone and bauxite are the main raw materials.
Used for refractory applications (such as cementing
furnace bricks)and certain applications where rapid
hardening is required.
It is more expensive than Portland cement.There is
only one producing facility in the U.S.
11
12. GEOLOGY (RAW MATERIALS)
The fundamental chemical compounds to produce cement
clinker are:
Lime (CaO)
Silica (SiO2)
Alumina (Al2O3)
Iron Oxide (Fe2O3)
12
Fly ash: by-product of burning finely grounded coal either for industrial application or
in the production of electricity
14. LIMESTONES
Originate from the biological deposition of shells and
skeletons of plants and animals.
Massive beds accumulated over millions of years.
In the cement industry limestone includes calcium
carbonate and magnesium carbonate.
Most industrial quality limestones is of biological origin.
The ideal cement rock 77 to 78% CaCO3, 14% SiO2,
2.5% Al2O3, and 1.75% FeO3.
Limestone with lower content of CaCO3 and higher
content of alkalis and magnesia requires blending with
high grade limestone
14
15. SOURCES OF ARGILLACEOUS MINERALS
Argillaceous mineral resources:
Clay and shale for alumina and silica Iron ore for iron
Other natural sources of silica are and alumina are:
Loess, silt, sandstone, volcanic ash, diaspore,
diatomite, bauxite
Shales, mudstones, and sandstones are typically
inter bedded with the limestone and were deposited
as the inland waters and oceans covered the land
masses.
Clays are typically younger surface deposits
15
17. USES OF CEMENT
Uses
Main use is in the fabrication of concrete and mortars
Modern uses
Building (floors, beams, columns, roofing, piles, bricks, mortar,
panels, plaster)
Transport (roads, pathways, crossings, bridges, viaducts, tunnels,
parking, etc.)
Water (pipes, drains, canals, dams, tanks, pools, etc.)
Civil (piers, docks, retaining walls, silos, warehousing, poles,
pylons, fencing)
Agriculture (buildings, processing, housing, irrigation)
17
18. SUBSTITUTES OF CONCRETE
It competes in the construction industry with concrete
substitutes:
Alumina
Asphalt
Clay brick
Fiberglass
Glass
Steel
Stone Wood
Some materials like fly ash and ground granulated furnace slugs
have good hydraulic properties and are being used as partial
substitutes for Portland cement in some concrete applications
18
22. Role of various ingredients of Cement
FUNCTION :TRICALCIUM SILICATE
Hardens rapidly and largely responsible for initial set &
early strength
The increase in percentage of this compound will cause
the early strength of Portland Cement to be higher.
A bigger percentage of this compound will produces
higher heat of hydration and accounts for faster gain in
strength.
FUNCTION :DICALCIUM SILICATE
Hardens slowly
It effects on strength increases occurs at ages beyond
one week
Responsible for long term strength 22
23. FUNCTION :TRICALCIUM ALUMINATE
Contributes to strength development in the first few days
because it is the first compound to hydrate .
It turns out higher heat of hydration and contributes to
faster gain in strength.
But it results in poor sulfate resistance and increases the
volumetric shrinkage upon drying.
FUNCTION :TRICALCIUM ALUMINATE
Contributes to strength development in the first few days
because it is the first compound to hydrate .
It turns out higher heat of hydration and contributes to faster
gain in strength.
But it results in poor sulfate resistance andincreases the
volumetric shrinkage upon drying.
23
24. Cements with low Tricalcium Aluminate contents
usually generate less heat, develop higher
strengths and show greater resistance to sulfate
attacks.
It has high heat generation and reactive with
soils and water containing moderate to high
sulfate concentrations so it’s least desirable.
24
25. FUNCTION : TETRACALCIUMALUMINOFERRITE
Assist in the manufacture of Portland Cement by
allowing lower clinkering temperature.
Also act as a filler
Contributes very little strength of concrete even
though it hydrates very rapidly.
Also responsible for grey color of Ordinary Portland
Cement
25
26. Manufacture of Portland cement
Manufacturing Process ( Stages)
Raw materials selection
Preparation of materials
Burning
Final processing
Quality control
26
27. Raw materials
Limestone (calcium carbonate) is a common
source of calciumoxide.
Iron-bearing alumino -silicates are the most
common source of silica.
Aluminum and iron oxides act as fluxing agents
i.e. lower fusion temperature of part of the raw
mix to apractical firing temperature
27
28. Preparation of Materials
Crush the materials and store them
Blend the materials and grind them
Store them and do final blending
Blending – assure constant composition and
predictable properties.
Wet, dry, and semi-dry processes
Burn the materials
Grind, blend, and store the materials
28
29. Cement Manufacturing Process
WET PROCESS
Raw materials are homogenized by crushing,
grinding and blending so that approximately
80%of the raw material pass a No.200 sieve.
The mix will be turned into form of slurry by adding
30 - 40%of water.
It is then heated to about 2750ºF (1510ºC) in
horizontal revolving kilns (76-153m length and 3.6-
4.8min diameter.
Natural gas, petroleum or coal are used for burning.
High fuel requirement may make it uneconomical
compared to dry process.
Wet process is obsolete 29
30. DRY PROCESS
Raw materials are homogenized by crushing,
grinding and blending so that approximately
80%of the raw material pass a No.200 sieve.
Mixture is fed into kiln & burned in a dry state
This process provides considerable savings in fuel
consumption and water usage but the process is
dustier compared to wet process that is more
efficient than grinding.
30
31. DRY PROCES & WET PROCESS
In the kiln, water from the raw material is driven off
and limestone is decomposed into lime and Carbon
Dioxide.
limestone = lime + Carbon Dioxide
In the burning zone, portion of the kiln, silica and
alumina from the clay undergo a solid state
chemical reaction with lime to produce calcium
aluminate.
silica & alumina + lime = calcium aluminate
31
32. Burning process
Sintering (become a coherent mass with no melting)
Fusion (complete melting)
Clinkering – only about¼ of the charge is in the liquid state
Kiln
Long steel pipe
Lined with refractory brick
Inclined a few degrees
Rotated at 60 to 200 rev/h
Typically 6m (20 ft) in diameter and 180m (600 ft) long
Time in the kiln from2 h (wet process) to 1 h (dry process) or
even (20 min)
modern heat exchangers
32
33. Four processes take place in the kiln: Evaporation 240 to 450°C
Calcination 600 to 1100°C
Clay decomposes (600°C)
Limestone decomposes (700°C) – CO2 driven off
Formation of initial compounds (1000°C)
Initial formation ofC2S (1200°C), formation of calcium
aluminates and Ferrites
Formation ofmelt (flux compoundsmelt) (1350°C)
Clinkering – charge temperature is 1400 to 1600°C
Formation of C3S
Cooling
Rate of cooling significantly affects the reactivity of the final
cement
Klinker
33
34. The rotation and shape of kiln allow the blend to
flow down the kiln, submitting it to gradually
increasing temperature.
As the material moves through hotter regions in
the kiln, calcium silicates are formed
These products, that are black or greenish black in
color are in the form of small pellets, called
cement clinkers
Cement clinkers are hard, irregular and ball
shaped particles about 18mm in diameter.
34
36. The cement clinkers are cooled to about 150ºF
(51ºC) and stored in clinker silos.
When needed, clinker are mixed with 2-5%
gypsum to retard the setting time of cement
when it is mixed with water.
Then, it is grounded to a fine powder and then
the cement is stored in storage bins or cement
silos or bagged.
Cement bags should be stored on pallets in a dry
place
36
42. Types of Portland Cement
I Normal
IA Normal, air-entraining
II Moderate sulfate resistance
IIA Moderate sulfate resistance, air-entraining
III High early strength
IIIA High early strength, air-entraining
IV Low heat of hydration
V High sulfate resistance
ASTM C 150 (AASHTO M 85)
47. Blended Hydraulic Cement
ASTM C 595
General —
a hydraulic cement consisting of two or more
inorganic constituents, which contribute to
the strength gaining properties of cement.
Clinker
Gypsum
Portland cement
Fly ash
Slag
Silica Fume
Calcined Clay
49. Cement Properties and Tests
1. Fineness
95% of cement particles are smaller than 45 micrometer with
the average particle around 15 micrometer.
Fineness of cement affects heat released and the rate of
hydration.
More is the fineness of cement more will be the rate of
hydration.
Thus the fineness accelerates strength development
principally during the first seven days.
Fineness tests indirectly measures the surface area of the
cement particles per unit mass :
Wagner turbidi meter test: (ASTM C 115)
Blaine air-permeability test (ASTM C 204)
Sieving using No. 325 (45 μ m) sieve (ASTM C 430)
49
51. 2. Soundness
Soundness is the ability of a hardened paste to retain its
volume after setting.
A cement is said to be unsound (i.e. having lack of
soundness) if it is subjected to delayed destructive
expansion.
Unsoundness of cement is due to presence of excessive
amount of hard-burned free lime or magnesia
Unsoundness of a cement is determined by the following
tests:
Le-Chatelier accelerated test (BS 4550: Part 3)
Autoclave-expansion test (ASTM C 151)
51
53. 3. Consistency
Consistency refers to the relative mobility of a
freshly mixed cement paste or mortar or its abilityto
flow.
Normal or Standard consistency of cement is
determined using the Vicat’s Apparatus.
It is defined as that percentage of water added to
form the paste which allows a penetration of 10 ± 1
mm of the Vicat plunger.
53
56. 4. Setting Time
This is the term used to describe the stiffening of the cement
paste.
Setting time is to determine if a cement sets according to
the time limits specified in ASTM C 150.
Setting time is determined using either the Vicat
apparatus(ASTM C 191) or a Gillmore needle (ASTM C
266).
“Initial setting time” is the time from the instant at which
water is added to the cement until the paste ceases to be
fluid and plastic which corresponds to the time at which the
Vicat’s initial set needle penetrate to a point 5 mm from the
bottom of a special mould.
56
58. ASTM C 150 prescribes a minimum initial setting
time of 60minutes for Portland cements.
“Final setting time” the time required for the paste to
acquire certain degree of hardness. This
corresponds to the time at which the Viact’s final set
needle makes an impression on the paste surface
but the cutting edge fails to do so.
ASTM C 150 prescribes a maximum final setting
time of 10 hours for Portland cements.
Gypsum in the cement regulates setting time. Setting
time is also affected by cement fineness, w/c ratio,
and admixtures. 58
60. 6. Compressive Strength
Compressive strength of cement is the most important
property.
It is determined by ducting compression tests on standard 50
mm mortar cubes in accordance with ASTM C 109.
In general, cement strength (based on mortar-cube tests) can
not be used to predict concrete compressive strength with
great degree of accuracy because of many variables in
aggregate characteristics, concrete mixtures, construction
procedures, and environmental conditions in the field.
Rates of compressive strength development for concrete,
made with various types of cement, are shown in Fig. 2-42.
60
63. 7. Heat of Hydration
It is the quantity of heat (in joules) per gram of un
hydrated cement evolved upon complete hydration at
a given temperature.
The heat of hydration can be determined by ASTM C
186 or by a conduction calorimeter.
The temperature at which hydration occurs greatly
affects the rate of heat development.
Fineness of cement also affects the rate of heat
development but not the total amount of heat
liberated.
63
64. Heat of Hydration determined by ASTM C 186
or by a conduction calorimeter
64
65. The amount of heat generated depends upon the chemical
composition of cement. Following are the heat of hydration
generated on hydration of the four compounds of cement.
Compound Heat of hydration Remarks C3S 502 j/g--C2S ,
260 j/gMinimumC3A 867 j/gMaximumC4AF 419 j/g--C3S
and C3A are the compounds responsible for the high heat
evolution.
•The approximate amount of heat generated using ASTM C
186, during the first 7 days (based on limited data) are as
follows:
65
66. Loss on Ignition (LOI)
The test for loss on ignition is performed in accordance with
ASTM C 114.
A high weight loss on ignition of a cement sample (between
900 to 1000ºC) is an indication of pre-hydration and
carbonation, which may be caused by:
Improper and prolonged storage
Adulteration during transport and transfer
Loss on ignition values range between 0 to 3%
66
67. 9. Density and Specific Gravity (ASTM C 188)
Density is the mass of a unit volume of the solids or
particles, excluding air between particles. The
particle density of Portland cement ranges from
3.10 to 3.25 Mg/m3, averaging3.15Mg/ m3.
It is used in concrete mixture proportioning
calculations.
For mixture proportioning, it may be more useful to
express the density as relative density (specific
gravity).
On an average the specific gravity of cement is
3.15. 67
68. Storage of Cement
Cement is moisture-sensitive material; if kept dry it
will retain its quality indefinitely.
When exposed to moisture, cement will set more
slowly and will have less strength compared to
cement that kept dray.
At the time of use cement should be free flowing
and free of lumps.
