11.6 Portland Cement Manufacturing
The initial production step in portland cement manufacturing is raw materials acquisition. Calcium, the element of highest concentration in portland cement, is obtained from a variety of calcareous raw materials, including limestone, chalk, marl, seashells, aragonite, and an impure limestone known as "natural cement rock".
