Lime is an air-hardening inorganic gelling material mainly composed of calcium oxide. Lime is made of products with high calcium carbonate content such as limestone, dolomite, chalk, and shells, which are calcined at 900-1100°C. The raw materials of lime are widely distributed, the production process is simple, and the cost is low. It is also an important raw material in the building material industry. And it is suitable for products in instrumentation, medicine, clothing, electronic telecommunications, leather, textile and other industries. Many companies have a large demand for lime in their production process. Therefore, how to store lime safely has become a concern of many manufacturers.

Cement clinker is mainly made of limestone and clay. Raw materials are formed in appropriate proportions, burned until part or all of them are melted, cooled and broken into lumps or large granular substances. Clinker is a material used as a cement binder and is a nodular material. Typically, clumps or nodules of clinker range in size from 3 mm to 25 mm in diameter and are dark gray in color. If stored in dry conditions, clinker can be kept for several months without noticeable loss of quality. Because clinker can be easily processed by ordinary beneficiation equipment, there are a large number of clinker transactions in the world. How to store the clinker and ensure its quality has become a concern for clinker producers and buyers.

Cement is a powdery hydraulic inorganic gelling material. After adding water and stirring, it becomes a slurry, which can be hardened in air or in water, and can firmly bind sand, stone and other materials together. The concrete made of cemented crushed stone not only has high strength after hardening, but also can resist the erosion of fresh water or salt water. Mortar or concrete made of cement is widely used in civil construction, transportation, water conservancy, electric power, petroleum, chemical engineering and other engineering constructions. It is the basic material for the development of the construction industry, especially steel-concrete buildings, and is called the grain of the construction industry. Many enterprises use a large amount of cement in the production process. Therefore, how to store cement safely and properly has become a concern of many owners.

Coal is the main energy source for steam power generation, mainly composed of elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus. The sum of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen accounts for more than 95% of organic matter, and is a very important energy source. It is also an important raw material for metallurgy and chemical industry, and can be classified into lignite, bituminous coal, anthracite, and semi-anthracite. In the past, coal was mostly stored in the open air, but the coal stored in this way is easy to deteriorate and lose its high combustion value, and the coal is easy to weather after being dried, and it is blown everywhere with the strong wind to pollute the environment. Therefore, with the continuous improvement of coal enterprises' requirements for automatic production, silo coal storage has been widely developed and used.

Fly ash is a fine powder that is a byproduct of burning pulverized coal in electric generation power plants. This residue, known as fly ash, is created when the mineral impurities in the coal fuse together as they come out of the combustion chamber, then cool down and harden. When mixed with lime and water, fly ash forms a compound similar to Portland cement. As we all know, fly ash plays an important role in the cement industry, medicine field, building materials field, agricultural production, etc. due to its wide distribution of raw materials, simple production process, and low cost. In the cement industry, the use of fly ash ingredients can reduce the cost of raw materials for cement enterprises and enhance the competitiveness of enterprises, and the effective storage of fly ash is the first consideration. If fly ash is collected and stacked in the open air, it will not only occupy a large amount of land, but also pollute the air and groundwater at the stacked place, causing great harm to the environment, and it is not suitable for open air storage. Therefore, how to store fly ash safely and properly has become a concern of many people.
