Aluminum Production 2010

• Cement is a fine, soft, powdery-type substance.

• It is made from a mixture of elements that are found in natural materials such as limestone, clay, sand and/or shale.

• When cement is mixed with water, it can bind sand and gravel into a hard, solid mass called concrete.

Raw materials used

for manufacture of cement• The four essential raw materials are:1. Limestone - mined from an underground mine2. Silicon – obtained from sand3. Aluminium – obtained from bauxite deposits4. Gypsum – obtained from large and dense beds

under the earth
