Composition of cement includes?
- Sand, clay, iron
- Limestone, clay, gypsum
- Cement, gravel, water
- Lime, coal, ash
Explanation
The main components of cement are limestone, clay, and gypsum
These materials are combined and heated to produce clinker, which is then mixed with gypsum to form cement.
Limestone: Provides calcium oxide (CaO), which is the primary constituent for cement's strength.
Clay: Contains silica (SiO2), alumina (Al2O3), and iron oxide (Fe2O3), which are necessary for the cement's hydraulic properties.
Gypsum: Added to control the setting time of the cement by slowing down the hydration process.
