The main ingredients form cement's core, but there are some other minor cement mineral compositions, which are: Gypsum (Calcium Sulfate): Gypsum is added to cement to slow down its setting, keeping it workable for a longer time. Gypsum reacts with tricalcium aluminate, slowing down the ...

To achieve desired quality cement, desired quality clinker is required to be produced. This requires that the raw material mix having desired physico-chemical characteristics is utilized. The design of this raw mix not only requires a complete analysis of raw materials but also requires the analysis of the ash content of the fuel as well.
