The effect of marl and clay compositions on the Portland cement quality
Written by sctunisie no commentsThe quality of Portland cement clinker depends upon the quality of the raw materials (limestone, marl, clay… ) especially marls and clays. These materials are the proponents of the cement quality and the main controllers of the production cost. Bizerte Cement factory has carried out a complete study of the raw materials in which a variety of clays and marls have been selected from its quarries and prepared for different analyses (chemical analysis, atomic absorption, diffraction X, fluorescence X) in order to expand the range of existing materials and improve the quarries management.The results are used to calibrate an ARL 9900 spectrometer installed in the laboratory.
