Functions and Limitations of Cement Ingredients 1.Lime (CaO) Lime or calcium oxide is the most important ingredient of cement. The cement contains 60 to 67% of lime in it. It is obtained from limestone, chalk, shale etc. Adequate quantity of lime in cement is helpful to form the silicates and aluminates of calcium.

Commercial deposits of gypsum may be almost pure, or contain variable amounts of impurities such as limestone, dolomite, clay, anhydrite, and soluble salts of potassium, sodium, and magnesium. Primary gypsum deposits consist of rock gypsum (alabaster). Selenite, satin spar, and gypsite are secondary varieties of gypsum.

Gypsum is a very soft mineral that is easily identified by its hardness, cleavage, and solubility in water. Typically clear to white, gypsum may be colored reddish to brown or yellow if impurities are present. Most gypsum occurs in its massive form, as layers of rock that often intercalate layers of shale, limestone, or dolostone.
