• Fe₂O₃

Which among these is the major component of Portland Cement?

• C₄AS

• C₄F

• C₂A

• C₃A

At the heart of it is a process called (a)   .

This cement component hydrates  and  hardens  rapidly  and  is largely  responsible for initial set and early strength.

• Tricalcium silicate

• Dicalcium silicate

• Tricalcium aluminate

• Tetracalcium Aluminoferrite

The use of this component allows lower kiln temperatures in Portland cement manufacturing, hydrates rapidly but contributes very little to strength, and also affects the colour of Cement.

• Tricalcium silicate

• Dicalcium silicate

• Tricalcium aluminate

• Tetracalcium Aluminoferrite

This component Hydrates and hardens slowly and is largely responsible for strength increases beyond one week

• Tricalcium silicate

• Dicalcium silicate

• Tricalcium aluminate

• Tetracalcium Aluminoferrite
