A particular brand of Portland cement is made using limestone, kaolinite and sand. Thethree raw materials are pre-calcined at 950°C, which drives off any carbon dioxide andwater chemically associated with the minerals. The bulk oxide composition of thecalcined materials is as follows: a) Assuming that the free-lime content of the clinker is zero, and bearing in mindthat gypsum has not yet been added, what proportions of the four main cementcompounds are potentially present?

In the manufacture of Portland cement, gypsum is added to the clinker and they are pulverised together to form the final cement product.a) What is the purpose of the gypsum? How does lack of gypsum affect theproperties of the mortar or concrete?b) What do you think will happen if we add the gypsum in the calcination orburning process instead of adding it into the clinker?c) The gypsum added is a small amount relative to the clinker. What willhappen if a large amount of gypsum is added? Explain.
