Page 128 - ... magnesia (in natural cements at least) may be regarded as being almost exactly interchangeable with lime, so far as the hydraulic properties of the product are concerned. The presence of magnesium carbonate in a natural cement rock is then merely incidental, while the silica, alumina, and iron oxide are essential.
Page 126 - ... if the quartz content does not exceed 20 to 30 per cent and if a sufficient quantity of pure feldspar is added to reduce the total percentage of quartz in the ground product to between 15 and 20 per cent. COMMERCIAL AVAILABILITY. Whether it will pay to work a given feldspar deposit depends on a number of factors, chief among which are (1) the distance from railroad or navigable water; (2) the freight rates to principal markets; (3) the quantity and quality of the material available; (4) the cheapness...
Page 127 - The requirements of the potter's trade demand that in general the percentage of free quartz associated with the feldspar used for this purpose shall not exceed 20 per cent in the ground product, and certain potters demand a spar which is nearly pure, containing probably less than 5 per cent of free quartz.
