Seite 10 - ... the water is entirely evaporated. Then I break the said mixture into suitable lumps, and calcine them in a furnace similar to a lime kiln till the carbonic acid is entirely expelled. The mixture so calcined is to be ground, beat, or rolled to a fine powder, and is then in a fit state for making cement or artificial stone.
Seite 34 - Portland cement clinker is much harder to grind than any possible combination of raw materials ; but it must be remembered that for every barrel of cement produced about 600 pounds of raw materials must be pulverized, while only a scant 400 pounds of clinker will be treated, and that the large crushers required for some raw materials can be dispensed with in crushing clinker. With this exception, the raw material side and the- clinker side of a dry-process Portland cement plant are usually almost...
Seite 115 - The hydrogen unites with oxygen in the proportion of two parts of hydrogen to one part of oxygen, forming water (HO).
Seite 41 - ... 5. Excess of silica. A large excess of silica indicates a sandy clay. If present in the analysis of a fire clay, it indicates low refractoriness. "6. The quantity of organic matter. If this is determined separately, and it is present to the extent of several per cent., it would require slow burning if the clay was dense. "7. The presence of several per cent. of both lime (Ca O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) in the clay indicates that it is quite calcareous.
Seite 68 - BONDING POWER. The bonding power of a clay is its power to hold together particles of non-plastic materials. The bonding power of a clay is dependent in a measure on the amount of clay substance which the clay contains. It also depends on the size of the grain of the inert matter added.
Seite 68 - Description. Fine gravel. Coarse sand. Medium sand. Fine sand. Very fine sand. Silt. Clay.
Seite 17 - PORTLAND CEMENT is the product obtained by finely pulverizing clinker produced by burning to semi-fusion an intimate artificial mixture of finely ground calcareous and argillaceous materials, this mixture consisting approximately of three parts lime carbonate (or an equivalent amount of lime) to one part silica, alumina and iron oxide.
Seite 41 - ... 3. The color to which the clay burns. This may be judged approximately, for clays with several per cent. or more of ferric oxide will burn red, provided...
Seite 68 - POROSITY. A porous clay is one which contains considerable space not occupied by clay particles. This unoccupied space is called pore space and its volume depends on the size and shape of the clay particles. The maximum volume of pore space would be reached in a clay containing spherical grains of equal size.
