the industrial grinding of cement even without the use of grinding aids Therefore it can be assumed that the surfaces of the majority of commercial clinkers are predominantly or even completely hy droxylated This is also important because it as sists the grinding in other words water is a weak grinding aid The chemical reaction of oxide ions
Cement additives are chemicals that are used to improve cement grindability and/or performance This is accomplished by addressing several challenges in the production of cement For example as cement grinding progresses and grains become smaller the attractive thermodynamic physical mechanical and chemical forces result in strong adhesion of particles
