Detailed Solution

The most widely used type of cement is Portland cement, which is used as a fundamental component of concrete, mortar, stucco, and non-specialty grout. It is typically created from limestone and was developed from other varieties of hydraulic lime in England at the beginning of the 19th century by Joseph Aspdin.
CaO makes up between 50 and 60 percent of Portland cement, along with SiO2Al2O3MgO, 2-3%, Fe2O3, and SO2.
The least amount of Al2O3 (5–10%) can be found in a typical Portland cement sample.
