Practical Methods for Analysis of Chemical Composition of Portland Cement

The performance of Portland cement in concrete or mortar formation is very wellinfluenced by chemical compositions among other factors. Many engineers usuallyhave little information on the chemical compositions of cement in making decisionsfor the choice of commercially available Portland cement in the world. In this workdemonstrated and recommended for using reference and standard methods forchemical analyzed Portland cement. Specific chemical methods for analysis arepresented in this review. They are grouped as reference and standard methods. Theinsoluble residues; silicon dioxide; ammonium hydroxide group; ferric oxide;phosphorus pentoxide; titanium dioxide; zinc oxide; aluminum oxide, calcium oxide;magnesium oxide; loss on ignition; sodium and pottasium oxides; manganic oxide;chloride; and, chloroform soluble organic substances, Reference Methods aresummarized.
