Abstract
<p>Cement is one of the most traditional construction materials, as well as, the most widely used cement in the building industry today. The rising costs of energy required for the manufacture of cement and the needed to understand the mechanism of concrete deterioration as well as the necessity of optimizing the use of Portland cement in high quality concrete, emphasizes the fact that understanding of this important building material is essential for correct industry practice. Clinker <a href="https://www.omicsonline.org/scholarly/virtual-microscopy-journals-articles-ppts-list.php" title="https://www.omicsonline.org/scholarly/virtual-microscopy-journals-articles-ppts-list.php" target="_blank">microscopy</a> is evidently one of the key factors which determine cement quality. In this research cement quality control of Fars Cement factory (SW Iran) were studied by Clinkers Polished sections and <a href="https://www.omicsonline.org/scholarly/chemical-toxicology-journals-articles-ppts-list.php" title="https://www.omicsonline.org/scholarly/chemical-toxicology-journals-articles-ppts-list.php" target="_blank">Chemical</a> analysis of clinker and Portland cements that were done by Fars cement factory’s XRF Lab. Thus, Bouge chemical indices were calculated. Also, Lime saturation Factor, silica and alumina ratios were used to compare the Fars cements and clinker by universal standards and the Ono method was used to investigate the kiln conditions. The Results show the presence of Alite, Belite, Aluminate and quartz phases in polished sections, the type of fuel was from gas fields and the increasing rate of temperature, cooling rate were slow in clinker and burning time of clinker was in long time. Also, Fars clinker and Portland cements have rather conform to clinker and cement universal standards.</p>
