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

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.
Portland, Blended, and Other Hydraulic Cements
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.

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.
