La fausse prise des ciments : lors d'échauffements importants du clinker des ciments, il peut arriver que le gypse qu'ils contiennent en faible proportion se transforme en plâtre. La prise de ce dernier, très rapide, provoque alors un premier épaississement des mélanges, parfois avant même la fin du malaxage; celui-ci doit alors être poursuivi (sans jamais rajouter d'eau). 1, record 1, French, - fausse%20prise

Nocturnal evolution of air and soil temperatures are computed for clear-sky situations. The model takes into account the soil heat conduction and the atmospheric radiative transfers... A by-product of the study is to use the model to investigate the sensitivity of the results to CO2 changes. Due to close saturation of the present CO2-H2O bands, the dependence appears very weak...

The foaming can be difficult to control properly since the evolution of the chemical and physical conditions in the slag/steel system that affect foam height is generally unknown.
