Abstract. This study investigates the compressive strengths of mortar prisms of Portland pozzolana cement (PPC) samples prepared with 6.67–20.00% compositions of rice husk ash (RHA) as the pozzolanic constituents.

Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC) PPC is a type of blended cement. It consists of 15-35% pozzolanic material, 4% gypsum and the rest is clinker. PPC as per BIS code is equivalent to that of 33 grade. Since the pozzolanic material reacts with calcium hydroxide liberated by the hydrating Portland cement and forms cementatious compounds, PPC …
A. A pozzolan is a siliceous or siliceous and aluminous material that in itself possesses little or no cementitious value but will, in finely divided form and in the presence of moisture, chemically react with calcium hydroxide at ordinary temperatures to form compounds having cementitious properties. It is therefore classified as cementitious ...

1. Selection of Raw Materials: The quality and consistency of raw materials play a crucial role in the production of PPC. Clinker, a primary component of cement, is obtained by heating a mixture of limestone and clay to a high temperature in a kiln. Pozzolanic materials are added to the clinker to enhance its properties.
The cement is produced either by inter-grinding the pozzolana cement and clinker together at the manufacturing stage or blending the two materials on site during construction.

The production of Portland cement accounts for approximately 5% of all carbon emissions annually worldwide. Natural pozzolan can replace up to 40 percent (by weight) the Portland cement in a concrete mix as a Supplementary Cementitious Material (SCM) helping to offset the cement's carbon footprint while enhancing its performance and durability.
What Is PPC Cement? Portland Pozzolana cement is an incorporated cement produced in that certain ratio by the synthesis and characterization of OPC cement from pozzolana materials. It's also generally referred to as PPC cement. PPC type cement is a form of Portland cement distinguished by the existence of pozzolana particles such as fly …
