Cementmaking requires calcium silica and small amounts of alumina and iron raw materials rich in these elements include limestone sand and clay they are quarried at the cement manufacturing plant or shipped from nearby limestone the source of calcium makes up about 80 of the raw materials for cement.

Chalk is soft raw material it does not require crushing marl is a limestone with admixtures of silex and clay substances as well as iron oxideit is a transitional stage to clay the hardness of marl is lower than the hardness of limestone the more clay substances the lower its hardness this is an excellent raw material for cement production.

Industrial raw limestone mineral is a rock made of calcite most limestone is grey but all colors of limestone from white to black have been found scientists test natural rock to see if it is limestone by pouring cold diluted hydrochloric or sulfuric acid 10 solution or vinegar on it limestone gives off bubbles of carbon dioxide.

Crushed limestone is often the main raw ingredient in the manufacture of portland cement clinker that eventually becomes cement other raw material sources of calcium carbonate include shells chalk or marl which are combined with shale.

Raw materials for the production of cement minerals of natural origin as well as industrial products can be used for the production of cement starting material for this purpose are mineral compounds containing the main components of cement lime silica alumina and ironoxide seldom are these components present in the needed proportion in.

The results proved that the very high and high limestone classes mainly correlate with cement limestone and highca limestone sites this indicates the usefulness of this approach as a reconnaissance tool to assess the limestone as raw materials for the cement industry in saudi arabia.

Since a form of calcium carbonate usually limestone is the predominant raw material most plants are situated near a limestone quarry or receive this material from a source via inexpensive transportation cement manufacturing begins with quarrying operations in which limestone in mines is quarried and brought to crusher for crushing.

The cement manufacturing process starts from the mining of raw materials that are used in cement manufacturing mainly limestone and clays a limestone quarry is inside the plant area and a clays quarry is as far from the plant area as 25 km.

The manufacture of portland cement the cement manufacturing process involves four distinct stages and these are outlined below step 1 quarrying the raw material for cement manufacture is a rock mixture which is about 80 limestone which is rich in caco3 and 20 clay or shale a source of silica alumina and fe2o3.
