Cement is a crystalline compound of calcium silicates and other calcium compounds that sets and hardens through a hydration process. It has been used as a cementing material for centuries, with the Romans developing early forms of hydraulic cement using volcanic ash. Modern Portland cement was invented in 1824 and is produced through heating limestone and clay to form clinker, which is then ground with gypsum. Cement is used widely in construction for concrete, mortar, and other building materials. The global cement industry relies on abundant limestone deposits as a raw material.

It is a large, diversified conglomerate involved in cement, jute, flooring and other industries.
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.
Portland cement is produced through a four step process:
1) Limestone and other raw materials are quarried and crushed
2) The raw materials are ground and blended to ensure proper chemical composition
3) The raw materials are heated in a kiln to over 1400°C, undergoing chemical reactions to form the four main compounds that make up cement
4) The resulting clinker is ground with gypsum to produce the fine powder that is Portland cement

Production of Concrete Admixtures (Additives). Construction Chemicals. Admixt...Ajjay Kumar Gupta
Admixtures are artificial or natural materials added to the concrete besides cement, water and aggregate to improve certain property of concrete during casting or setting or service stage.
A material other than water, aggregates, or cement that is used as an ingredient of concrete or mortar to control setting and early hardening, workability, or to provide additional cementing properties.
Admixtures are generally used to alter the properties of concrete (such as increased workability or reduced water content, acceleration or retardation of setting time, acceleration of strength development, and improved resistance to weather and chemical attacks) to make it more suitable for a particular purpose. For example, calcium chloride can be used to accelerate strength development in mass concrete during winter. Air-entraining admixtures (inexpensive soaps, detergents, etc.) entrain air which greatly improves the workability of concrete and thus permits the use of harsher and more poorly graded aggregates and also those of undesirable shapes.

Material and energy balances are used to track quantities as they pass through processes. They are based on the principles of conservation of mass and energy.
A material balance equates total input mass to total output mass plus any accumulation. It can be done on a total mass basis or by tracking individual components. Concentrations are commonly used to quantify compositions.
An energy balance equates total energy input to total energy output plus any storage. Different forms of energy must be accounted for as some can be interconverted. Sankey diagrams provide a visual representation of energy flows.
Balances get more complex for real processes but the basic approach is generally applicable. They are important for process control, optimization, and examining efficiency.

Cement is a binding material made of calcareous, siliceous, and argillaceous substances. There are various types of cement used for different purposes, including ordinary Portland cement, rapid hardening cement, extra rapid hardening cement, sulphate resisting cement, quick setting cement, low heat cement, Portland pozzolana cement, Portland slag cement, high alumina cement, air entraining cement, supersulphated cement, masonry cement, expansive cement, colored cement, and white cement. The document discusses the chemical composition and functions of cement constituents and manufacturing processes.
This document discusses Portland cement and the cement manufacturing process. It begins with an overview of what cement is and how it is used to make concrete. It then describes the industrial process for manufacturing cement, involving grinding raw materials like limestone and clay at high temperatures in a kiln to form clinker, which is then pulverized with gypsum to become Portland cement powder. The document also provides a brief history of cement development and explains how cement kilns can beneficially reuse solid and hazardous wastes as a source of energy and raw material replacement due to the kilns' high temperatures and long retention times.
The document summarizes the history and production process of Portland cement. It describes how John Smeaton discovered the benefits of clay in mortar for building Eddystone Lighthouse in 1756. Later, Joseph Aspdin created "Portland cement" in 1824 by burning a mixture of limestone and clay. Modern cement production involves mining raw materials, grinding and blending them, burning the mixture at high temperatures in a rotary kiln to form clinker, cooling and grinding the clinker with gypsum to produce cement. Quality control is important throughout the production process to maintain consistent cement properties.
The document provides information about cement, including its history, chemical composition, manufacturing process, hydration, types of cement and tests conducted on cement. It begins with describing how cement is made from raw materials such as limestone, clay and iron ore through grinding, heating and cooling processes. It then discusses the chemistry and reactions involved in cement hydration. The document also lists and describes common types of cement used in construction, such as ordinary Portland cement, rapid hardening cement, white cement, as well as tests to measure cement consistency, setting time and strength.
This document discusses the cement manufacturing process. It begins with the history of cement, which has been made since Roman times but has been refined over time. There are four main types of cement. The production process consists of three steps - raw material processing, clinker burning, and finish grinding. The raw material and clinker burning steps can be wet or dry processes. The dry process dries and heats materials directly while the wet process adds water. Portland cement is the most common type and is made by heating limestone and clay. The production process involves quarrying, crushing, mixing, heating in a kiln, cooling, and grinding. Emissions from manufacturing like NOx, CO2 and dust must be controlled to reduce
The document provides information on cement, including its history, chemical composition, manufacturing process, and hydration. It discusses how cement is made by heating limestone, clay, and other materials in a kiln to form clinker, which is then ground with gypsum. The manufacturing process involves quarrying limestone, grinding raw materials, sintering in a rotary kiln at high temperatures, cooling the clinker, and final grinding with gypsum. Hydration of cement occurs as its compounds (C3S, C2S, C3A, C4AF) react with water, releasing heat and forming hydrates that harden the concrete.
The document summarizes the cement manufacturing process at the ACC Lakheri Cement Works plant in Rajasthan, India. It describes how limestone and clay are quarried and crushed, then burned in a kiln at high temperatures to produce cement clinkers. The clinkers are cooled, ground with gypsum, and packaged to produce the finished cement products OPC 33, OPC 43, and PPC. The production process involves eight stages including quarrying, raw material preparation, pyroprocessing in the kiln, cement grinding, and packaging.
Portland cement is made through a precise manufacturing process involving mining and grinding raw materials like limestone and clay, heating them in a kiln to form clinker, and then finely grinding the clinker. There are two main processes - the dry process mixes dry raw materials before heating while the wet process mixes materials into a slurry. Both processes involve heating materials to high temperatures to form cement compounds, cooling the clinker, and then very finely grinding it along with gypsum. The ground cement is then stored in silos and packaged for distribution.

Cement is produced through a process involving quarrying, grinding, blending, burning in a kiln, cooling, and final grinding. The key steps are:
1) Limestone and other raw materials are quarried, crushed, and finely ground, either wet or dry.
2) The materials are blended to precise chemical proportions and burned at high temperatures in a kiln, forming marble-sized clinker balls.
3) Clinker is cooled, mixed with gypsum, and finely ground to a powder, producing the final cement product.
Cement is a powdery material that binds other materials together when mixed with water. It is made through a process of crushing raw materials like limestone, mixing them into a slurry or powder, burning the mixture in a kiln, and finely grinding the resulting clinker. The most common type is Portland cement, which is a finely ground powder that sets and hardens through chemical reactions with water. Cement is widely used in construction for buildings, infrastructure, and other applications due to its ability to form strong structures and conform to various shapes.

This document provides an overview of cement, including its history, raw materials, manufacturing process, and uses. Cement is made by heating limestone and clay in a kiln to form clinker, which is then ground with gypsum into a powder. The manufacturing process involves quarrying raw materials, crushing, blending, burning at high temperatures, cooling, and final grinding. When mixed with water, cement acts as an adhesive and binds sand, gravel and stones to form concrete, which is used widely in construction.
Cement is produced through a two-step process of first creating clinker from raw materials like limestone and clay in a rotary kiln at high temperatures, and then grinding the clinker along with other additives like gypsum to produce cement powder. The production process can cause pollution like cement kiln dust, but waste streams are often recycled back into the process or used as alternative fuels to reduce pollution and energy needs. Methane captured from anaerobic digestion of bio solids is also sometimes used to power dryers in the cement production process.
Portland cement is manufactured by heating limestone and clay at high temperatures. It is composed mainly of calcium silicates and is used widely in construction materials like concrete and mortar. Cement production involves mixing raw materials, burning them in a kiln to form clinker, grinding the clinker, and adding gypsum. When cement powder is mixed with water, it undergoes hydration and hardens into a strong building material. Reinforced cement concrete combines cement with aggregates and steel reinforcement to make structures able to resist both compressive and tensile stresses.
Cement is produced through a process involving crushing, grinding, and burning of limestone and clay. Joseph Aspdin first produced Portland cement in 1824. The first cement factory in India was established in Tamil Nadu in 1904. Cement production involves quarrying raw materials, crushing them, mixing with water or dry process, grinding, burning at high temperatures to form clinker, cooling clinker, and final grinding with gypsum. Cement is used widely in construction activities like building, roads, bridges due to its binding properties and high compressive strength.
Portland cement-Chemical Process IndustriesSatyam Pandey
Portland cement is the most common type of cement used worldwide in construction. It originated in Britain in the 18th century and was further developed and produced commercially in the United States in the late 19th century. The manufacturing process involves grinding various materials like limestone, clay, sand and iron together and firing the mixture in a kiln at high temperatures to form clinker, which is then finely ground with gypsum and bagged. The grade of Portland cement corresponds to its compressive strength, with higher grades being stronger. It is used mainly as a basic ingredient in concrete, mortar and grout for construction purposes.

Phosphoric acid has many industrial uses including in fertilizers, cleaning products, food processing, and more. It is produced commercially via either the thermal or wet process. The thermal process involves combusting white phosphorus to form P4O10, then hydrating it to form H3PO4. The wet process reacts phosphate rock with sulfuric acid to form H3PO4 and calcium sulfate. There are various wet process techniques including dihydrate, hemihydrate, and recrystallization methods that aim to control calcium sulfate precipitation and recover phosphoric acid.

Combustion refers to the rapid oxidation of fuel accompanied by heat or heat and light. Complete combustion requires an adequate oxygen supply. The objective of good combustion is to release all the heat from fuel by controlling temperature, turbulence for mixing fuel and oxygen, and reaction time. Stoichiometry calculates the theoretical air required for combustion and can determine excess air by measuring flue gas CO2 levels. A certain amount of excess air is needed for complete combustion but too much leads to heat losses.
The document discusses the origin, composition, and classification of petroleum. It states that modern theories indicate petroleum originated from the decomposition of ancient marine and terrestrial organisms buried under high pressure and temperature deep underground. Petroleum is composed mainly of hydrocarbons like paraffins, naphthenes, and aromatics, along with small amounts of other organic compounds. It is classified based on the types of hydrocarbons present and can be paraffinic, naphthenic, asphaltic, or a mixture. Fractional distillation is used to separate crude oil into different fractions like gasoline, kerosene, and diesel fuel.

Principle constituents
• Lime
– calcining the lime stone (CaCO3) at temperature that it will slake, when brought in contact with water. It is
principal constituent of cement. Proper amount of lime is important as excess of it reduces the strength as
well as lesser amount also reduces the strength and makes its quick setting.
• Silica
– It imparts strength to cement.
• Alumina
– It works as an accelerator and makes the cement quick settling.
• Gypsum (Calcium sulfate)
– It retards the setting action of cement but enhances the initial setting time.
• Iron oxide
– It provides colour, strength and hardness of cement.
• Magnesia
– If present in small amount impart hardness and colour to cement
• Sulfur trioxide
– If present in small amount it imparts soundness to cement but excess of it is undesirable
• Alkalis
– Most of the alkalis present in raw materials are carried away by the flue gases during heating and cement
contains only a small amount of alkalis. If present in excess causes the dehydration in cement.
Manufacturing process
• The basic chemistry of the cement manufacturing
process begins with the decomposition of calcium
carbonate (CaCO3) at about 900 °C to calcium oxide
(CaO, lime) and liberated gaseous carbon dioxide (CO2);
this process is known as calcination.
• This is followed by the clinkering process in which the
calcium oxide reacts at a high temperature (typically
1400 – 1500 °C) with silica, alumina, and ferrous oxide
to form the silicates, aluminates, and ferrites of
calcium which comprise the clinker.
• The clinker is then ground or milled together with
gypsum and other additives to produce cement.
7. 13/12/2013
7
Manufacturing process
• It involves the following steps
– Storage and preparation of raw materials
– Burning
– Grinding
– Storage and packaging
Process routes
• The choice of process is, to a large extent, determined by the state
of the raw materials (dry or wet).
– The dry process, in which the raw materials are ground and dried to
raw meal in the form of a flowable powder. The dry raw meal is fed to
the preheater or precalciner kiln or, more rarely, to a long dry kiln.
– The semi-dry process, in which the dry raw meal is pelletised with
water and fed into a preheater before the kiln or to a long kiln
equipped with crosses.
– The semi-wet process, in which the slurry is first dewateredin filter
presses. The resulting filter cake is extruded into pellets and then fed
either to a preheater or directly to a filter cake dryer for raw meal
production.
– The wet process, in which the raw materials (often with a high
moisture content) are ground in water to form a pumpable slurry. The
slurry then is either fed directly into the kiln or first to a slurry dryer.
* Wet processes are more energy consuming, and thus more expensive.

Raw materials
– Clay
– Limestone
– Gypsum
– Water
Dry process
• Lime stone or chalk and clay are crushed into gyratory crusher to get 2-5
cm size pieces.
• Crushed material is ground to get fine particle in ball mill or tube mill.
Materialsafter screening stored in a separate hopper.
• Typical dry grinding systems used are:
– Tube/ballmill, centre discharge
– Tube/ballmill, airswept
– verticalroller mill
• Classification of the powder is carried out using air separators.
• The powder is mixed in require proportions to get dry raw meal which is
stored in silos and kept ready to be fed into the rotary kiln. Raw materials
are mixed in required proportions so that average composition of the final
product is maintained properly.
• For raw meal transport to storage silos, pneumatic and mechanical
conveyor systems are used.
9. 13/12/2013
9
Wet process
• Calcareous raw material is crushed, powdered and stored in silos.
• Clay is washed with water in wash mills to remove adhering organic
matter. The washed clay is stored separately.
• Powdered lime stone and wet clay are allowed to flow in channel
and transfer to grinding mills (closed circuit milling systems) where
they are intimately mixed and paste is formed known as slurry.
• Grinding may be done either in ball mill or tube mill or both. When
sufficiently fine, the material passes through screens in the wall of
the wash mill and is pumped to storage.
• Then slurry is led to correcting basin where chemical composition
may be adjusted. The slurry contains 38-40% water stored in
storage tank and kept ready for feeding to a rotary kiln.
Clinker burning
• This part of the process is the most important in terms
of emissions potential and of product quality and cost.
In clinker burning, the raw meal/slurry is fed to the
rotary kiln system where it is dried, preheated, calcined
and sintered to produce cement clinker.
• Cyclone preheater
– The raw materials are preheated or calcined in preheater
or series of cyclones before entering to the rotary kiln. A
preheater, also called as suspension preheater is a heat
exchanger in which the moving crushed powder is
dispersed in a stream of hot gas coming from the rotary
kiln. Common arrangement of series of cyclones is shown
in figure.
10. 13/12/2013
10
Preheater/Precalciner
• The heat transfer of hot kiln gases to raw meal takes place in co-current.The raw
materialsare heated upto 800 °C within a less than a minutes.About 40% of the
calciteis decarbonatedduring the heat transfer.
• The quality and quantity of fuel used in the kiln can be reduced by introducing a
proportion of the fuel into preheater.50 – 65 % of the total amount of fuel is
introducedinto preheater or precalciner which is often carried out by hot air
ducted from cooler.
• The fuel in the precaliner is burnt at relativelylow temperature,there so heat
transfer to the raw meal is very efficient.The material has residence time in the
hottestzone of a few seconds and its exit temperature is about 900 °C, 90 – 95% of
calciteis decomposed.Ash from the fuel burn in the precalcineris effectively
incorporatedinto mix.
• Advantagesof precalination
– Decrease the size of kiln
– Decrease in capital cost
– Increase in rate of material passes to the kiln.
– Decrease in rate of heat provided which ultimately lengthens the life of refractory lining
– Less NOx is formed, since much of the fuel is burnt at a low temperature, and with some
designs NOx formed in the kiln may be reduced to nitrogen.
Clinker burning
• It is essential to maintain kiln charge temperatures in the sintering
zone of the rotary kilns at between 1400 and 1500 °C, and the
flame temperature at about 2000 °C. Also, the clinker needs to be
burned under oxidising conditions. Therefore, an excess of air is
required in the sintering zone of a cement clinker kiln.
• The rotary kiln consists of a steel tube with a length to diameter
ratio of between 10 : 1 and 38 : 1. The tube is supported by two to
seven (or more) support stations (roller bearings), has an inclination
of 2.5 to 4.5 % and a drive rotates the kiln about its axis at 0.5 to 5.0
revolutions per minute.
• The combination of the tube’s slope and rotation causes material to
be transported slowly along it. In order to withstand the very high
peak temperatures, the entire rotary kiln is lined with heat resistant
bricks (refractories). All long and some short kilns are equipped
with internals (chains, crosses, lifters) to improve heat transfer.
11. 13/12/2013
11
Clinker burning
• Due to inclined position and slow rotation of the kiln,
the material charged from upper end is moving
towards lower end (hottest zone) at a speed of 15m/h.
In the upper part, water or moisture in the material is
evaporated at 400 °C, so it is known as drying zone.
• In the central part (calcination zone), temperature is
around 1000 °C, where decomposition of lime stone
takes place. After escapes of CO2, the remaining
material in the forms small lumps called nodules.
– CaCO3 CaO + CO2
Clinker burning
• The lower part (clinkeringzone) have temperature in between 1500-1700
°C where lime and clay reacts to yielding calcium aluminates and calcium
silicates. The aluminates and silicates of calcium fuse togather to form
small and hard stones are known as clinkers. The size of the clinker is
varies from 5-10 mm.
– 2CaO + SiO2 Ca2SiO4
– 3CaO + SiO2 Ca3SiO5
– 3CaO + Al2O3 Ca3Al2O6
– 4CaO + Al2O3 + Fe2O3 Ca4Al2Fe2O10
• The hot clinkers coming from burning zone are cooled down by air
admitting counter current direction at the base of rotary kiln. Resulting
hot air is used for burning powdered coal or oil.
12. 13/12/2013

Clinker coolers
• The clinker cooler is an integral part of the kiln system and has a decisive
influenceon performance and economy of the pyroprocessing plant. The
cooler has two tasks: to recover as much heat as possible from the hot
(1450 °C) clinker so as to return it to the process; and to reduce the clinker
temperatureto a level suitable for the equipment downstream.
• Heat is recovered by preheating the air used for combustion in the main
and secondary firing as close to the thermodynamic limit as possible.
• Rapid cooling fixes the mineralogical compositionof the clinker to improve
the grindability and optimise cement reactivity.
• Typical problems with clinker coolers are thermal expansion, wear,
incorrectairflows and poor availability
• There are three types of coolers: rotary, grate and verticle/gravitycoolers.
– Rotary coolers : tube and planetary coolers
– Grate coolers : travelling, reciprocating,third generationgrate coolers
Clinker grinding
• Portland cement is produced by intergrinding cement
clinker with sulphates such as gypsum and anhydrite.
• Grinding plants may be at separate locations from
clinker production plants.
• Commonly used finish grinding systems are:
– Tube/ball mills, closed circuit (mineral addition is rather
limited, if not dry or pre-dried)
– vertical roller mills (best suited for high mineral additions
due to its drying capacity, best suited for separate grinding
of mineral addition)
– roller presses (mineral addition is rather limited, if not dry
or pre-dried).
