White Cement Manufacturing Technology
This 6 week online training course will be suitable for employees of white
cement manufacturing companies, those who are considering manufacturing white
cement, and employees of companies supplying equipment, goods and services to
white cement manufacturers.
Course Content
-
Module 1 - Will cover the applications and composition of white cement.
At the outset students will need to know what we are making and why. White
cement is an Ordinary Portland cement, as is grey cement, but with the defining
characteristic of its whiteness. It is a niche product that finds application in
prestige projects where the appearance of mortar or concrete is important. In
many applications it provides a surface finish as flooring, precast panels,
mortar screeds or even white cement based paints, rather than structural
concrete. We will talk about some of these applications in a dedicated session
of this Module 1. As whiteness is the defining characteristic of white cement we
will also consider whiteness and whiteness measurement in a dedicated session of
module 1.
-
Module 2 - Will consider raw materials for white cement manufacture and
their processing
-
Module 3 & 4 - will consider the pyroprocessing of white cement clinker
where the key differences from grey cement manufacture are found.
-
Module 5 - we will consider the finish grinding of white cement and also
the typical organisation and management of a white cement factory.
-
Module 6 - we will review the white cement industry and players around
the world. Again we will highlight the differences with the grey cement
industry. And speculate on how the white cement industry might develop in the
future.
Course Material
The course is open to all in the cement industry and a small fee will be charged
for each student. You may also use the course in a classroom situation with
multi-student involvement, although certification and course monitoring can only
be arranged for the people actually registered for the course.
The course is conducted on-line, allowing students flexibility (within a six-week
period) to complete each module and associated assessments at work or home.
Students should expect to devote around 5+ hours per week/per module plus some
additional time for private reading/study. A computer with internet access
(broadband recommended) and email capabilities will be necessary.
Throughout the course the lectures are supplemented with exercises allowing
students to relate the course material to their cement factories, or the cement
factories of their clients in the case of equipment or service suppliers to the
cement industry. Certification is achieved by completing a satisfactory level
of exercises, and by end-of -module exams.
The course is complete with downloadable transcripts of the lectures, exercises,
and reading material for the training record.
