Raw mix designing,clinkerization and manufacturing of high-strength Portland cement from the limestone and clay of Darukhula Nizampur,Nowshera District,North-West Frontier Province (N.W.F.P.),Pakistan

摘要

This paper covers the detailed version of the potential raw material deposits at Darukhula and the adjacent areas of Nizampur, the manufacturing of high-strength Portland cement samples from the same material and comparison of the physical and chemical parameters for resulting cement with British and Pakistan standard specifications, which include compressive strength, setting time, consistency, lechatelier expansion, Blaine and insoluble residue. It was found that the raw material available in the study area meets the standard specifications and the area is feasible for the cement plant installation. The area can provide raw material which is quite sufficient for the running of a cement plant.
