Wheel loaders and dumper trucks transport the raw materials to the crushing installations. There the rock is broken down to roughly the size used in road metalling.
ادامه مطلبLimestone, a sedimentary rock rich in calcium carbonate, provides the necessary calcium for the cement's chemical reactions. Clay, which contains silica, alumina and iron oxide, contributes to the cement's strength and sets its properties. Gypsum helps to regulate the setting time of the cement.
ادامه مطلبMajor industrial need. Limestone comprises 95% of core raw material for cement production. No wonder then that the cement sector governs demand, supply and pricing of limestone to some extent. According to some estimates, around 1.5 tons of limestone is required to produce a ton of cement. Cement manufacturing consumes …
