Lecture
Chemistry of Portland Cement: Simplified Reactions and Production
Description
This lecture covers the chemistry behind Portland cement, including the simplified chemical reactions involved in its production process, such as the calcination of limestone and the curing of cement. It also discusses the key ingredients like aggregates, gravel, sand, cement, and water, as well as the role of additives. The presentation delves into the neutral pH environment required for the chemical reactions and the different stages of the cement production process, from raw materials to the final building structure.
