CLINKER
Description
Clinker takes on a lump or nodule shape, usually with a diameter ranging from 0-50mm. Integrated cement plants produce clinker through the sintering of limestone and alumino-silicate (clay) in the cement kiln stage.
Use
Portland cement is mainly made up of clinker, which is mixed with gypsum and other cementitious materials in a cement grinder to produce it. For specialized cements, clinker can also be combined with materials such as slag, pozzolan, silica, and fly ash during the grinding process.
Storage
Clinker can be stored in dry conditions for 6-12 months.

Regular/White Gypsum
Description
Gypsum, made up of calcium sulfate dihydrate, is often found in layered sedimentary deposits. It is a soft sulfate mineral and is usually located in the presence of other minerals such as halite, anhydrite, sulfur, calcite, and dolomite.
Apart from occurring naturally, synthetic gypsum can also be produced.
Use
Gypsum has numerous applications, with primary uses being in the production of plaster, wallboard, and cement. It can also serve as a soil conditioner or fertilizer and be utilized in surgical splints, casting models, and dental plasters. Additionally, gypsum plays the role of a hardening retarder in cement mixes.
White cement is frequently utilized for its aesthetic and decorative properties in architectural projects. It also serves as a binding material in the production of prefabricated concrete elements and artistic sculptures.
Storage
Natural gypsum can safely stored in properly-terraced ground for several years.

COAL
Description
Coal is a type of sedimentary rock with a distinct black or brownish-black color. It is typically found in layers or veins referred to as coal beds or coal seams. Primarily made up of carbon, it can be combined with varying amounts of other elements like hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen.
Use
Coal, as a combustible material, is often utilized for generating electricity or heat. Within the cement industry, coal is a prevalent power source for kilns that are employed to produce clinker.
Storage
Coal can be stored for up to one year in a properly-terraced ground.

LIMESTONE
Description
Limestone is a sedimentary rock that forms from organic material such as shells, coral, algae, and other debris that accumulate over time. Additionally, it can be created from calcium carbonate found in nearby bodies of water, resulting in a chemical sedimentary rock.
Use
Limestone is a crucial raw material for producing clinker and additive ingredients for cement. Its main uses include being crushed into stone for construction purposes, as well as for creating the base of roads and railroads. It can also be combined with shale, sand, and other materials in a kiln to produce clinker.
On its own, powdered limestone is commonly used as a filler in paper, paint, rubber, and plastics, as well as roofing granules.
Storage
Limestone can be stored for several years in a properly-terraced ground.

SLAG
Description
Slag is a non-metallic byproduct that occurs during the steel-making process. After separating molten steel and impurities in blast furnaces, slag is formed as a liquid melt. As it cools and solidifies, it turns into a mixture of silicates and oxides.
Use
Steel slag is commonly utilized in construction as either a granular base or an aggregate material. Additionally, it can serve as a sustainable replacement for clinker in cement production.
Storage
Slag can be stored for 6-12 months in dry conditions.
