Tar
Tar is a viscous black liquid produced by the destructive distillation of coal, or other organic materials. Its adhesive properties are used to bind aggregates in the construction of roads etc.
Tarmacadam
Tarmacadam is a road-building material, consisting of aggregate bound with tar or a tar-bitumen mixture. It contains little material and consequently gives a relatively open surface.
Total lime
Total lime is an analytical term for the total CaO plus MgO content of a limestone or lime, expressed in terms of CaO equivalent.
Trefoil
Trefoil is a refractory structure in the preheating zone of some rotary kilns, dividing the kiln into three channels, to improve heat transfer between the hot gases and the limestone.
