Calcium occurs most commonly in sedimentary rocks, but is also found in igneous (relating to fire) and metamorphic rocks, cheifly in silicate minerals.

Calcium can be obtained by electrolyzing a mixture of lime and Mercury, as was first discovered by Sir Humphry Davy in England, during 1808.

Is there calcium in cement?

Yes,Sorel in 1867 announced the discovery of an excellent cement formed from the combination of magnesium oxide and magnesium chloride solution. This cement type is known by many different names, such as Sorel, magnesite and magnesium oxychloride cement. This cement has many superior properties to Portland cement. However, there are two other known magnesia cements. The first is magnesium oxysulfate (MOS), which is the sulfate analogue of magnesium oxychloride and is formed by the combination of magnesium oxide and magnesium sulfate solution. The second is magnesium phosphate cement (MAP), formed by the reaction between magnesium oxide and a soluble phosphate, such as ammonium phosphate monobasic (NH4H2PO4)


Where calcium is mined?

Calcium is a very reactive metal and is always found in a reacted state in compounds where it is ionic, present as the Ca2+ ion. The best known mineral is limestone, calcium carbonate. Calcium metal is not produced commercially in great quantities, one method of production is to react calcium oxide with aluminium at high temperature, , a so-called aluminothermic reaction similar to the thermite reaction where aluminium is the reducing agent.
