Basic Chemistry 3: Atomic weights (also known as relative atomic masses) In the old days, atomic weights were based on hydrogen with an atomic weight of 1. This meant that calcium, with an atomic weight of 40, is 40 times as massive for the same number of atoms as hydrogen. In other words, if you have 1 gram of hydrogen and 40 grams of calcium

Clay and limestone are the basic materials for cement production. After mining and coarse crushing, the rock is processed by crushers in large mills using corrective materials to raw meal and fed to further processing. The crushing process is carried out by means of rollers (roller mill) or balls (ball mill)

Portland cement is the basic ingredient of concrete. Concrete is formed when portland cement creates a paste with water that binds with sand and rock to harden. Cement is manufactured through a closely controlled chemical combination of calcium, silicon, aluminum, iron and other ingredients.

Cement & Concrete. In its simplest form, concrete is a mixture of paste and aggregates. The paste, composed of portland cement and water, coats the surface of the fine and coarse aggregates. Through a chemical reaction called hydration, the paste hardens and gains strength to form the rock-like mass known as concrete
