How cement is made
The desired raw mix of crushed raw material and the additional components required for the type of cement, e.g. silica sand and iron ore, is prepared using metering devices. Roller grinding mills and ball mills grind the mixture to a fine powder at the same time as drying it, before it is conveyed to the raw meal silos for further homogenisation.

Production of autoclaved aerated concrete with silica raw materials …
Currently, the use of quartz as a SiO 2 source for AAC production is well-established, but quartz has relatively a low solubility in water, and the rate of dissolution is also relatively slow. Therefore, when quartz is the main silica source in the AAC mixture, saturated steam curing at a quite high temperature, i.e., greater than T > 180 °C is required [12].
