Acid Resistance - Portland Cement Association
The main reason for the increased acid resistance of the concrete investigated was the formation of a very dense hardened cement paste and aggregate interface with very low porosities. The use of slag cement increased acid resistance as well as portland cements with silica fume (up to 8 percent by mass of cementitious material) or fly ash.

Cement Production - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
G. Habert, in Eco-efficient Construction and Building Materials, 2014 10.1 Introduction. Cement production has undergone tremendous developments since its beginnings some 2,000 years ago. While the use of cement in concrete has a very long history (Malinowsky, 1991), the industrial production of cements started in the middle of the 19 th century, first with shaft kilns, which …
11.6 Portland Cement Manufacturing
11.6 Portland Cement Manufacturing 11.6.1 Process Description1-7 Portland cement is a fine powder, gray or white in color, that consists of a mixture of hydraulic cement materials comprising primarily calcium silicates, aluminates and aluminoferrites. More than 30 raw materials are known to be used in the manufacture of portland cement, and these
Effect of High Temperatures on Concrete| Concrete ...
High temperatures also affect the compressive strength of concrete. Above 212º F, the cement paste begins to dehydrate (loses chemically combined water of hydration), which gradually weakens the paste and paste-aggregate bond. The temperature that concrete has reached often can be determined by observing color changes in the aggregate.
