A cement is a binder, a chemical substance used for construction that sets, hardens & adheres to other materials to bind them together. China is the largest cement producer of the world. China consistently has produced more cement than any other country in the world for the past 18 years.
Cementing chemicals are raw materials that possess excellent setting & hardening properties when mixed to a paste with water. Chemicals used to form cement are mentioned below -
Lime : Lime is calcium oxide
Deficiency in lime reduces the strength of the property to the cement
Deficiency in lime causes the cement to set quickly
Excess lime makes cement unsound.
Silica : Silica is Silicon dioxide
It impacts strength to cement
Alumina : Alumina is Aluminium oxide
Excess Alumina weakens the cement
Magnesia : Magnesia is magnesium oxide
It shouldn’t be present more than 2% in the cement
Iron Oxide : It impacts colour to the cement
It acts as a flux
Calcium Sulphate : It slows down the setting action of cement
Sulphur Trioxide & Alkaline
