The aim of the course:
1- Lecturing the objectives of cement manufacturing, fundamental requirements of the cement product in application. 2- Lecturing the raw materials for cement manufacture, exploration, extraction, processing and mixing of cement raw materials. 3- Lecturing the pyroprocessing: Chemical, physical and mineralogical transformation from raw mix to cement clinker. Process and equipment evolution for cement clinker manufacture. 4- Lecturing the cement grinding and dispatch. Finishing the cement manufacturing process and satisfying the end-customer. 5- Lecturing the sustainability in cement manufacture and environment. 6- Lecturing the new generation cement technologies.
