Each 376-pound barrel of cement represents an average fuel con sumption, of 200 pounds of coal, or its equivalent . Fuel is one of the large : necessary cost elements entering into the manufac ture of cement. About 334 per cent of the cost of manufacturing cement goes for fuel Every one knpws that coal costs a great deal more than before the war. In 1921 the coal bill of the 1 cement industry totaled : approximately $40,000,000. Heat required in cement making is about 3000 de grees Fahrenheit. This is a higher temperature than . required in steel making, gold smelting, or almost any other industrial proc ess involving heat. This intense heat is neces sary to fuse the limestone and other materials into what is known as clinker. Grinding mills pulverize the coal into a fine powder before it is blown into the kiln to be used as fuel This grinding costs about V $1 per ton. v This Is the Age of Cement PORTLAND CEMENT ASSOCIATION He Impnvt ltd Exttnd the Urn ofConertte Date T - i ' M i Ii NnhaAOnc twm,fcC Dun KjaaaiCiry NiYt SakLakaOfr WnHir n.D.C Distilling Books Seized by Raiders Hydrometrri and Copper Good.
