Portland, Blended, and Other Hydraulic Cements


Oldest Concrete Found To Date

■ dates around 7000 BC

— a lime concrete floor found during the construction of a road at Yiftah El in Galilee, Israel.


Beginning of the Industry

■ Portland cement was first patented in 1824

■ Named after the natural limestone quarried on the Isle of Portland in the English Channel


Portland Cement First Produced

■ North America1871— Coplay, Pennsylvania

■ Canada1889 — Hull, Quebec

Traditional Manufacture of Portland Cement

1. Stone is first reduced to 125 mm (5 in.) size, then to 20 mm (3/4 in.), and stored.


2. Raw materials are ground to powder and blended.

or

2. Raw materials are ground, mixed with water to form slurry, and blended.


3. Burning changes raw mix chemically into cement clinker.


4. Clinker with gypsum is ground into portland cement and shipped.





Dry Process Manufacture of Portland Cement

1. Stone is first reduced to 125 mm (5 in.) size, then to 20 mm (3/4 in.), and stored.


2. Raw materials are ground, to powder and blended.


3. Burning changes raw mix chemically into clinker. Note four stage preheater, flash furnaces, and shorter kiln.


4. Clinker with gypsum is ground into portland cement and shipped

Portland Cement

By definition —a hydraulic cement produced by pulverizing clinker consisting essentially of hydraulic calcium silicates, usually containing one or more of the forms of calcium sulfateas an interground addition.

Hydraulic Cements ASTM C 1157

■ First performance specification for hydraulic cements

■ Cements meet physical performance test requirements rather than prescriptive restrictions on ingredients or cement chemistry as in other cement specifications.
