I am writing a master thesis dissertation. My dissertation is about machine learning models applied to cement compressive strength prediction. I have a chapter of theoretical basis where I'm writing about the topics that makes sense for my work. For instance, one of the subchapters is about Portland Cement. There I described what is Portland Cement, the production steps in the manufacturing industrial process NAME_1 now, I am briefly describing the Testing Procedures. Thus, where I describe it I did the following:

3.1.2 Portland Cement Quality Control: A Brief Summary of Testing Procedures

Portland cement quality control tests are a set of standardized procedures performed to ensure that the produced cement meets the desired quality standards. These tests can be divided into three main categories: chemical tests, mineralogical tests, NAME_1 physical tests.

The chemical composition of cement refers to the various elements present in the cement NAME_1 their respective quantities. Chemical tests are used to assess the chemical composition of the cement, including the levels of key compounds such as calcium oxide, silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, iron oxide, NAME_1 magnesium oxide. These tests help to identify any impurities in the raw materials used to produce the cement or any issues with the manufacturing process that may affect the chemical composition (NAME_2 NAME_1 NAME_3, 2006; NAME_4, 1997).

One method for testing the chemical composition of cement is X-ray fluorescence (XRF), which uses high-energy X-rays to excite  Do not include the following keywords: production, chapter, master, quantity
