The microscope is used to determine clinker microstructure in cement industry, which gives helpful data of the clinker history. The microscope can also be used in the analysis of finding large gypsum particles in cement and the characteristics of the raw materials used to burn the kiln.

Two scientists from Construction Technology Laboratories, Inc., USA won the top award for their paper at 2004 IEEE-IAS/PCA Cement Industry Technical Congress in Chattanooga, TN, USA. The method of identifying cement paste behavior and sulfate requirements and the manufacturing solutions to optimize sulfate are explained.

The use of new tools that are used in the most advanced cement laboratories and the benefits gained from their use is discussed. These advances made by the new tools reduce analysis time, increases the accuracy and precision of results and enhances the knowledge of cement properties, which finally benefits the cement industries.

Plant management is constantly under pressure to maintain or increase production rates and reduce costs, without sacrificing quality. Understanding the process of clinker manufacture is key. This transformation involves both [...]

Abstract Evaluation of clinker using microscopy is a powerful technique that can help improve clinker production and cement quality. One can gather remarkable information about clinker history as well as [...]

Cement quality is typically assessed by its compressive strength development in mortar and concrete. The basis for this property is well-burned clinker with consistent chemical composition and free lime. There [...]

Manufacturing methods to monitor cement temperature and gypsum dehydration, with effective use of water spray, are presented.

The author relates the story of pioneers Norman and Electa Elizabeth Hale Hills and their farm in Perkins Township, Erie County, Ohio. She describes the township selected by the Hills as their home in 1800s. She cites that Norman opted to employ the long time family tradition of farming in Perkins Township. She mentions that the Hills family faced such hardships as the threat of Indians and lived during the time when the U.S. was pioneering the west.

A list of farms for sale of salvage property in Plum Brook, Ohio on August 4, 1941 is presented including farms owned by Glen and Lucille Black, Leona E. Jewell and Frances L. Miller.
