Procedure

Nitric acid was added to calcium carbonate in a very slow manner in increments of 5 ml to obtain calcium nitrate and water in the oxidizer formation chamber. The mixture was then thoroughly mixed for 30 minutes for the complete conversion of calcium carbonate to calcium nitrate. Then aluminum nitrate, iron nitrate, urea and silica fume were added in appropriate amounts based on the final composition of cement. The mixture was then again mixed for 30 minutes with a lab stirrer. All raw materials were bought from Fischer Scientific.
