LECTURE OUTLINE

➢ History of Cement

➢ Cement

➢ Raw Materials

➢ Manufacturing Process
HISTORY OF CEMENT
➢ Lime and clay have been used as cementing material on constructions through
many centuries.

Clay Lime

➢ Romans are commonly given the credit for the The Pantheon is a former Roman
development of hydraulic cement; the most significant temple
incorporation of the Roman’s was the use of pozzolan-
lime cement by mixing volcanic ash with lime.
CEMENT
➢ Definition: “Cement is a crystalline compound of calcium silicates and
other calcium compounds having hydraulic properties”.

➢ Joseph Aspdin (December 1778 – 20 March 1855) was an English cement

manufacturer who obtained the patent for Portland cement on 21 October
1824.

GEOLOGY (RAW MATERIALS)

The fundamental chemical compounds to produce cement clinker are:

• Lime (CaO) • Silica (SiO2) • Alumina (Al2O3) • Iron Oxide (Fe2O3)

 ROTARY KILN
Slurry

• Upper part of the kiln

• About 400 0C
• Most of the water in the slurry
gets evaporated

• Center part of the kiln

• About 700oC – 1000oC
• Lime gets decomposed into CaO
and CO2 (Calcination Zone)
5 to 6 o inclined
Gypsum Clinkers

• Lower part of the kiln

Cement • About 1250oC - 1500oC
• Clinkering Zone
