	Cement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		mortar is primarily comprised of cement, lime, and sand.
		Portland cement is made primarily from limestone, certain clay minerals, and gypsum, in a process which drives off carbonates and chemically alters the composition of the primary ingredients.
		Portland cement was patented in England by Joseph Aspdin in 1824.

	Soil cement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Soil cement is a construction material, a mix of pulverized natural soil with small amount of portland cement and water, usually processed in a tumble, compacted to high density.
		Soil cement is frequently used as a construction material for pipe bedding, slope protection, and road construction as a subbase layer reinforcing and protecting the subgrade.
		While in portland cements the paste coats all aggregate particles and binds them together, in soil cements the amount of cement is lower and therefore there are voids left and the result is a cement matrix with nodules of uncemented material.

	Oilfield Glossary: Term 'cement'
		Cement is also used to seal formations to prevent loss of drilling fluid and for operations ranging from setting kick-off plugs to plugging and abandonment.
		Cement sets as the water in the slurry reacts chemically with the active ingredients, the most significant of which is tricalcium silicate reacting to create calcium silicate hydrate.
		Cement additives are used to control the setting process of the cement slurry and enhance the performance of the set cement.

	Cement
		The basic characteristic of cement is that after it has been mixed with water, it will set hard as rock, and will bind together any rock or mineral fragments mixed into it.
		Cement was patented by John Aspdin in 1824 as Portland cement because he though it looked rather like limestone from Portland, which was used a lot in buildings.
		Cement and sand can also be used to produce a thin skin or render, to protect the outside of the buildings.

	Cement Association of Canada - Blended Hydraulic Cements
		Blended cements are used in all aspects of concrete construction in the same manner as portland cements.
		Blended cements can be used as the only cementing material in concrete or they can be used in combination with other supplementary cementing materials added at the concrete plant.
		Blended hydraulic cement as defined by CSA A362 is a product consisting of a mixture of portland cement and one or more of granulated blast-furnace slag, fly ash, or silica fume to which no processing additions have been made except as permitted and noted in Clause 3.2 of the Standard.

		The fact is that the Indian cement industry spends as little as 4 per cent of its turnover on the cost of its raw material limestone.
		In industrial sectors, cement industry is the second largest emitter of carbon dioxide and accounts for 5 per cent of global human-made carbon dioxide emissions.
		The cement sector holds immense promise in terms of utilising wastes from other industries: fly ash (from the power sector) and blast furnace slag (from the iron and steel industry) are both used to manufacture blended cement, without sacrificing the quality of cement.

		ASTM C595-02a "Standard Specification for Blended Hydraulic Cements" is the specification covering five classes of blended hydraulic cements for both general and special applications, using slag or pozzolan, or both, with portland cement, or portland cement clinker or slag with lime.
		Cement substitutes should be added to the concrete along with portland cement, rather than added to the raw materials (to avoid the energy loss in reheating the substitute during cement production).

		Portland cement, the basic ingredient in concrete, was first produced and patented in 1824 by a British stonemason.
		A recent report* concludes that global cement consumption rose an average 2.75% in the period 2000-2002 and at the end of 2002 there were an estimated 1447 integrated production facilities and a further 250 separate grinding installations world-wide.
		The mixture of raw materials is fed into the upper end of a rotating, cylindrical kiln, which achieves temperatures in excess of 1000°C. It passes through at a rate controlled by the slope and rotational speed of the kiln.

		A few years later, an alternative to antibiotic impregnated cement was developed – antibiotic impregnated beads which are used to temporarily fill in the dead space created after the debridement of infected bone.
		Antibiotics used in cements or beads must be active against specific pathogens, be available as powders, and stable to heat generated during the polymerization reaction.
		Other issues to consider are the stability of a chosen antibiotic at body temperature, water solubility to permit the diffusion of the antibiotic from the cement, biphasic release of antibiotic (high elution in the first hours to days post surgery and the remaining persisting up to years) and the patient’s allergies.
