Geochemical Specifications for Raw Materials Used in Gasin Cement Factory in Kurdistan Region Ne-Iraq

Abstract

This paper intends to provide background information on the chemically investigated raw materials used in the cement industry at the Gasin Cement Factory. Since it was found that the average carbonate ratio of CaCO3 is 89.84 percent by weight ratio, the sulfide is less than 1 percent by weight ratio, and the magnesium carbonate is less than 3 percent, the raw materials entering the factory, including limestone, clay, iron, sand, and gypsum, were examined. Magnesium carbonate was less than or equal to 3 percent, in the iron with sand mixture, and the overall mixture carbonates were less than or equal to 76.24 percent. The findings of the analysis for silica oxides in the sand were greater than 82 percent. For sulfide oxide less than 1%, as well as for iron, the average value of ferric oxide that was examined in a laboratory was 35.51percent, from local iron ore, and an average reached 50.66% from Iranian iron ore, the percentage of alumina oxide that was tested in a laboratory was 9.37 percent and 3.40 percent from Local iron and Iranian iron respectively, silica oxide is more than 8.3 percent. As well as gypsum analysis, it was discovered that the average percentage of sulfur dioxide is higher than 40.97%. We identified the locations of the models that were evaluated and analyzed, as well as their storage locations.
