What is sulphur concrete?
Ordinary portland cement based concrete consists of a mixture of aggregates bound together with portland cement. In the presence of water a chemical reaction takes place and the portland cement is hydolysed. At the end of this chemical reaction the cement becomes hard and binds the aggregate particles together.Sulphur concrete is composed of a similar mixture of aggregates, however, and this is the big difference, there is no portland cement involved. Instead the aggregate mixture is bound together by molten sulphur at elevated temperatures. Upon placing, the sulphur concrete is allowed to cool and as it cools the molten sulphur becomes a solid again binding the aggregates together imparting rigidity to the concrete mix.Because sulphur concrete contains no alkaline materials, unlike portland cement mixtures, it is very much more resistant to acid attack and thus finds favour in industry where acid resistant concrete is desirable.
Which states is Portland in?
There is a Portland, Oregon and a Portland, Maine.
What substance slows down the setting of cement?
Gypsum slows down the setting of cement. Although the terms cement and concrete often are used interchangeably, cement is actually an ingredient of concrete. Concrete is basically a mixture of aggregates and paste. The aggregates are sand and gravel or crushed stone; the paste is water and portland cement. Concrete gets stronger as it gets older. Portland cement is not a brand name, but the generic term for the type of cement used in virtually all concrete, just as stainless is a type of steel and sterling a type of silver. Cement comprises from 10 to 15 percent of the concrete mix, by volume. Through a process called hydration, the cement and water harden and bind the aggregates into a rocklike mass. This hardening process continues for years meaning that concrete gets stronger as it gets older. So, there is no such thing as a cement sidewalk, or a cement mixer; the proper terms are concrete sidewalk and concrete mixer.
What time zone is Portland OR in?
Portland, OR is in the Pacific time zone which is 8 hours behind Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). That means when it is 12 noon in London, it is 4 a.m. in Portland.

How is limestone put in cement?
Limestone is crushed and baked at high temperatures to produce the main ingredient for Portland cement.
What is purpose of tricalcium silicate in cement?
Tricalcium silicate is the main mineral responsible for strength development in the hydration of portland cement. Portland cement contains 50 to 70 percent C3S (Tricalcium aluminate) It is also known as alite. To keep it simple, C3S reacts with water to form calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) and a byproduct, calicum hydroxide. CSH is what gives concrete its strength and binds the aggregates together.
