Small-Scale Production of Cementitious Materials

By R.J.S. Spence

Cement, or at least some form of cementing material, is an essential ingredient of virtually every type of construction. Two alternative approaches to large scale factory production are considered: firstly, the manufacture of Portland cement, or material of comparable quality, in much smaller kilns, and, secondly, the upgrading of village-scale technology, based on lime and pozzolanas. A comprehensive list of references and further information is also listed.
