The cement production capacity grew from 32.2 Mt/a in 2012 to 38.3 Mt/a in 2018, which is an increase of 19 %. Accordingly, the installed capacity has outgrown demand and last year the cement capacity utilisation stood at only 55 %. The average utilisation rate prior to 2016 was in the range of 67-72 %.Web
The CAGR for cement production growth will range from 2.6 % at the lowest to 2.9% at the highest. Accordingly, with an average population growth of 2.6% in Africa, the per capita cement consumption will only slightly change. Cement capacity is projected to increase from 381 Mt/a in 2020 to 437 Mt/a by 2025.Web
Lime: Lime is made from limestone by calcining it at temperatures exceeding 200 degrees Fahrenheit in a lime kiln. With a specific gravity of 2.62, it's also known as fast lime or burned lime. Gypsum: Gypsum is a vaporous substance that is often found in the earth's crust. In conventional Portland cement, it functions as a hardening retarder.Web
Concrete dates back to at least 6500 BCE when the Nabatea of what we know now as Syria and Jordan used a precursor of modern-day concrete to build structures that survive to this day.

Hydrated Lime Plaster. Also known as "air lime," this type of plaster is based on limestone that has been heated to 900º–1100ºC (1650º–2000ºF) to form "quicklime.". The powdered quicklime is then combined with water (a process that is highly reactive and generates a substantial amount of heat) to form a stable hydrated lime.Web

Difference Between Lime and Cement. Portland cement is about 30% clay-based, while lime is usually about 5% clay. However, there are three basic strengths of lime mortar, depending on the amount of clay present. The closer the clay percentage gets to 30%, the closer it is to a Portland cement, since the strength will be the same.Web
