The Science and Technology of Cement and other Hydraulic Binders (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Science and Technology of Cement and other Hydraulic Binders covers the design of Portland Cement composition using the ideas and formulae of earlier scientists, including the calculation of proportions of different cement phases formed during processing. Other chapters cover cement manufacture by dry, semi-dry or wet processes using rotary and shaft kilns. Particular attention is given to the physical changes that occur in the raw mix when affected by chemical processes. The chemistry of clinker formation which is concerned chiefly with high temperature reactions in the solid-state phase or reactions in the presence of the liquid phase is also discussed.

Users will find the latest information on the storage of cement, its packing and handling, hydration and setting, Gypsum, different mineral additions, and advances in special and newer cements, including blended cements, Portland slag cement, Pozzolanic cements, high alumina cements, high-strength cement-based materials, fiber-reinforced cement, non-Portland cements and lime.

• Covers raw materials, cement design and manufacturing, fuels used in manufacturing, phase balances, clinker training, hydration and setting
• Includes various types of cement, mineral additions, high strength cement and different cement-based materials
• Presents information on activated alkaline materials, recycled cements and novel additions
• Discusses future trends in cement manufacturing and the circular economy
• Contains a high number of figures, tables and reference data
