Ciments alumineux ou fondus. Dans ces ciments, l’élément de durcissement est l’aluminate de chaux au lieu du silicate de chaux. La matière première est constituée par des bauxites riches en argile et pauvres en acide silicique et chaux. [...] La fabrication s’effectue soit au four électrique (France), d’où l’appellation de «ciment fondu» (couleur brun vert foncé), soit au four circulaire et au haut fourneau (couleur gris clair). Ces ciments, contenant peu de chaux, résistent mieux que le ciment Portland à l’attaque des eaux agressives et de l’acide carbonique [...].

As the mixture [of raw materials] moves down the cylinder [of the rotary kiln], it progresses through four stages of transformation. Initially, any free water in the powder is lost by evaporation. Next, decomposition occurs from the loss of bound water and carbon dioxide. This is called calcination. The third stage is called clinkering. During this stage, the calcium silicates are formed. The final stage is the cooling stage. 5, record 2, English, - clinkering
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 3 CONT
The slurry is fed into huge rotary kilns fired with coal or natural gas. In the early stages of heating, the moisture is driven off.
