History

Joseph Aspdin, a British stone mason October 21, 1824 Discovered an artificial cement Heating a mixture of finely ground

limestone and clay in his kitchen stove Calcination

History

Aspdin named the product Portland Cement

It resembled a famous stone quarried on the Isle of Portland off the British Coast

He laid the foundation for today's portland cement industry

PORTLAND CEMENTS

Page 6: Portland Cements, Calcium and Magnesium Compounds

What is the difference between cement and concrete?

Actually an ingredient of concrete. Closely controlled chemical combination of

calcium, silicon, aluminum and iron Lime and silica make up about 85% of the

finished product mass. 

PORTLAND CEMENTS

Cement

Page 7: Portland Cements, Calcium and Magnesium Compounds

Concrete

PORTLAND CEMENTS

Basically a mixture of aggregates and paste

Aggregates are sand and gravel or crushed stone; the paste is water and portland cement

Gets stronger as it gets older

Page 8: Portland Cements, Calcium and Magnesium Compounds

Hydration Cement comprises from 10 to 15 percent of

the concrete mix, by volume. Through this process, the cement and water

harden and bind the aggregates into a rocklike mass.

This hardening process continues for years.

Types of Portland Cements Type I (Regular portland cements)- General purpose cement suitable for all uses. It is used in general construction projects such as buildings, bridges, floors, pavements, and other precast concrete products.

PORTLAND CEMENTS

Page 14: Portland Cements, Calcium and Magnesium Compounds

Types of Portland Cements Type II (Moderate-heat-of-hardening and

sulfate-resisting portland cements)- Generates less heat at a slower rate and has a moderate resistance to sulfate attack. - Heat evolved should not exceed 295 and 335 J/g after 7 and 28 days respectively.

PORTLAND CEMENTS

Page 15: Portland Cements, Calcium and Magnesium Compounds

Types of Portland Cements Type III (High-early strength [HES] cements)- Made from raw materials with a lime-to-silica ratio higher than that of Type I cement and are ground finer than Type I cements.- It contains higher proportion of tricalcium silicate.

PORTLAND CEMENTS

Page 16: Portland Cements, Calcium and Magnesium Compounds

Types of Portland Cements Type IA Similar to Type I with the addition of air-entraining properties. Type IIA It is identical to Type II and produces air-entrained concrete. Type IIIA It is an air-entraining, high-early-strength cement.

PORTLAND CEMENTS

Page 17: Portland Cements, Calcium and Magnesium Compounds

Air entrainment- intentional creation of tiny air

bubbles  in concrete- bubbles are introduced into the concrete by the

addition to the mix of an air entraining agent, surfactant (surface-active substance, type of chemical that includes detergents).

- primary purpose is to increase the durability of the hardened concrete, especially in climates subject to freeze-thaw.

PORTLAND CEMENTS

Page 18: Portland Cements, Calcium and Magnesium Compounds

Types of Portland Cements Type IV (Low-heat portland cements)- It has a lower percentage of C3S, C3A, low heat of hydration and develops strength at a slower rate than other cement types- Ideal for use in dams and other concrete structures where there is little chance for heat to escape.

PORTLAND CEMENTS

Page 19: Portland Cements, Calcium and Magnesium Compounds

Types of Portland Cements Type V (Sulfate-resisting portland cements)- Used only in concrete structures that will be exposed to severe sulfate action, principally where concrete is exposed to soil and groundwater with a high sulfate content.

2. BURNING

1. RAW GRINDING : The raw materials are very finely ground in order to produce the raw mix.

2. BURNING : The raw mix is preheated before it goes into the kiln, which is heated by a flame that can be as hot as 2000 °C. The raw mix burns at 1500 °C producing clinker which, when it leaves the kiln, is rapidly cooled with air fans. So, the raw mix is burnt to produce clinker : the basic material needed to make cement.

OTHER CEMENTSFor many corrosive conditions, portland cement is unsuitable. Hence many special cements have been developed, of which are industrially important

Page 36: Portland Cements, Calcium and Magnesium Compounds

Pozzolans- A material which is not cementitious in itself

but which becomes so upon admixture with lime

- The early strength of such a cement is lower than portland cement, but within a year the strengths are equal

- It resists the corrosive action of saline solutions and seawater much better than portland cement

OTHER CEMENTS

Page 37: Portland Cements, Calcium and Magnesium Compounds

High Alumina Cements- Calcium aluminate cement- Made by fusing a mixture of limestone and

bauxite (containing iron oxide, silica, magnesia and other impurities)

- Characterized by very rapid rate of development of strength and superior resistance to seawater and sulfate-bearing water

OTHER CEMENTS

Page 38: Portland Cements, Calcium and Magnesium Compounds

acids except hydrofluoric. - Not suitable at pH values above 7 or in

presence of crystal-forming systems- Joining of bricks in chromic acid reaction

tanks and in alum tanks

OTHER CEMENTS

Page 39: Portland Cements, Calcium and Magnesium Compounds

Sulfur Cements- Resistant to non-oxidizing acids and

salts- Should not be used in the presence of

alkalis, oils, grease or solvents- Generally accepted as a standard material

for joining bricks, tile and cast iron pipe

OTHER CEMENTS

Page 40: Portland Cements, Calcium and Magnesium Compounds

Polymer Concrete- Polymer bonded concretes - Consist of aggregate plus resins such as

epoxy, methyl methacrylate or polyester- Rapid curing, corrosion resistance or

high corrosive strength- More expensive than regular portland

cement concrete

Lime CycleCALCIUM COMPOUNDS

Page 50: Portland Cements, Calcium and Magnesium Compounds

Manufacture Lime has always been a cheap commodity because

limestone deposits are prevalent anywhere. The lumps sometimes found in overburned or

dead-burned lime result from changes in the calcium oxide itself, as well as from certain impurities acted upon by excess heat, recognized as masses of relatively inert, semi-vitrified material.

On the other hand, it is underburned lime if it often happens that rather pure limestone is calcined insufficiently and lumps of calcium carbonate are left in the lime.

Environmental Impacts

POLLUTION PROBLEMS

These include emissions of airborne pollution in the form of dust, gases, noise and vibration when operating machinery and during blasting in quarries, and damage to countryside from quarrying.

Equipment to reduce dust emissions during quarrying and manufacture of cement is widely used, and equipment to trap and separate exhaust gases are coming into increased use.

Page 90: Portland Cements, Calcium and Magnesium Compounds

Carbon DioxideEmissions

The cement industry is one of two primary industrial producers of carbon dioxide (CO2), creating up to 5% of worldwide man-made emissions of this gas, of which 50% is from the chemical process and 40% from burning fuel.

The amount of CO2 emitted by the cement industry is nearly 900 kg of CO2 for every 1000 kg of cement produced.

POLLUTION PROBLEMS

Page 91: Portland Cements, Calcium and Magnesium Compounds

Heavy Metal Emissions in the Air

The high-temperature calcination process of limestone and clay minerals can release in the atmosphere gases and dust rich in volatile heavy metals; thallium, cadmium and mercury are the most toxic.

POLLUTION PROBLEMS

Page 92: Portland Cements, Calcium and Magnesium Compounds

Heavy Metals Present in the Clinker

The presence of heavy metals in the clinker arises both from the natural raw materials and from the use of recycled by-products or alternative fuels.

Nickel, zinc and lead are commonly found in cement in non-negligible concentrations.

Page 94: Portland Cements, Calcium and Magnesium Compounds

World sales for cement are forecast to expand more than five percent annually through 2017 to over 4.7 billion metric tons. Demand will rebound sharply in North America and Western Europe, while growth in China will decelerate yet still achieve impressive gains. Blended cement will account for over three-fourths of all new demand.

SUPPLY & DEMAND

The Southeast Asian cement market can be categorized under three distinct clusters, namely: the large producers (Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam), the midsized producers (Malaysia and Philippines), and the rest (Singapore, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Brunei and East Timor). 

Page 97: Portland Cements, Calcium and Magnesium Compounds

The Philippines: Cementing growth

The Department of Budget and Management released its economic growth forecasts. GDP is expected to expand by between 6.6% and 7.6% in 2013 and by 7.4% and 8.6% in 2014, with industry – including construction, leading the charge.

One of the biggest economic growth in 2012 was the Philippines’ cement sector. According to the CEMAP, demand for cement rose by 18% in 2012, the sharpest increase in 15 years.

In 2013, Mr. Ernesto Ordoñez, president of the CEMAP, said higher spending from the government on infrastructure developments and increased investments in building developments would boost turnover.
