This presentation discusses cement industries and the process of cement manufacturing. It begins by defining Portland cement as a powdered material that hardens when mixed with water. There are various types of Portland cement depending on setting rate and strength. The manufacturing process involves mining limestone and clay as raw materials, grinding them, heating the mixture in a kiln to form clinker, and grinding the clinker with gypsum. The reactions that occur in the kiln form the key compounds that provide strength. Cement is an important building material used in construction of structures like roads, buildings and bridges.
