Kiln feed material with high chemistry variations requires more fuel in the kiln to properly react and more energy at the finish mill to grind over-reacted clinker. By using an online analyzer to minimize chemistry variation, fuel and energy consumption can be reduced and process upset conditions avoided.

The distribution of belite in clinker is often dependent on the fineness and homogeneity of the raw meal [48]. Raw meal of the SLCI plant constitutes 14.64% of retained on 90μm screen and 3.17% of those greater than 180μm, as presented in Table 1. It is slightly finer than the SLC plant for 90 μm.

Kiln feed sulfur may be in the form of elemental sulfur, organic sulfur compounds, sulfides (either simple sulfides or polysulfides, such as pyrites), or sulfates. When present in the sulfate form, it usually does not form SO2but rather leaves the kiln system with the clinker.

Limestone plays two major roles in the cement manufacturing process, one is used as a raw material for cement clinker, and the other is used as a cement admixture. Limestone is one of the key raw materials of cement clinker. Around 80-90% of the raw material for the kiln feed is limestone. Limestone is also a favored mineral admixture in …

• For burning the kiln feed, pulverized coal is fed through the lower end of the kiln. • Raw coal is ground in a coal mill (VRM/ball mill) to fine coal or pulverized coal. • The hot materials coming out of the kiln are known as clinker. • Clinker is in the form of nodules of various sizes, usually 1-25 mm in diameter.
Modern cement plants are equipped with elaborate instrumentation for control of the burning process. Raw materials in some plants are sampled automatically, and a computer calculates and controls the raw mix composition. The largest rotary kilns have outputs exceeding 5,000 tons per day.
