The diagrams below show the stages and equipment used in the cement-making process, and how cement is used to produce concrete for building purposes. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The diagrams illustrate the process of producing
cement
and its use to manufacture concrete.
In the first diagram, cement
production begins by crushing limestone and clay into a powder using a crusher. These materials are mixed in a mixer, then
heat is applied while
being rotated with the use of a rotating heater. The heated product is then
ground into a finer powder. The powder finally
is bagged and ready to use as cement
.
The second diagram shows how cement
is vital for the manufacturing of concrete. The process involves combining 15% cement
, 10% water, 25% sand, and 50% gravel in a concrete mixer. Gravel refers to small stones, which are the major ingredient in this
mixture. Once all the components are combined, the output is concrete, which is used for construction purposes.
In conclusion, the first process focuses on the production of cement
, and the second shows how cement
is utilized along with
other ingredients to manufacture concrete.Submitted by riani.the2 on
