主权项

1. A method of manufacturing an enhanced Portland cement for use in the preparation of a concrete having enhanced compressive strength, comprising: admixing Portland cement with an additive following formation of clinker where admixing is accomplished by spraying the additive onto the clinker having an elevated temperature, wherein the additive comprises molasses and a carrier, and wherein the Portland cement and the additive are present in the enhanced Portland cement at a ratio of additive to Portland cement of about 1:1000 (w/w) to about 1:25 (w/w), wherein the carrier comprises water.
