Question:

ingredients of cement?

ingredients of cement?

Answer:

The most common cements are made by heating limestone with clay, then ground with gypsum into powder.
Has nothing to do with food, but cement is made from super Dehydrated limestone that has been dry'ed and cooked in a super hot kiln.
Hi, Cement is a fine, soft, powdery-type substance. It is made from a mixture of elements that are found in natural materials such as limestone, clay, sand and/or shale. Four essential elements are needed to make cement. They are Calcium, Silicon, Aluminum and Iron. Calcium (which is the main ingredient) can be obtained from limestone, whereas silicon can be obtained from sand and/or clay. Aluminum and iron can be extracted from bauxite and iron ore, and only small amounts are needed. Cement is usually gray. White cement can also be found but it is usually more expensive than gray cement. Cement mixed with water, sand and gravel, forms concrete. Cement mixed with water and sand, forms cement plaster. Cement mixed with water, lime and sand, forms mortar.
Do you mean concrete, that holds things together or for roads and bridges? It can be confusing because many call concrete cement. Concrete that is being mixed in the drum truck is made of cement (a dust), rock, sand, water, air. For some projects they will add flyash or other lighter weight additives and lower the actual amount of cement included.
