Re: Highest Temp. Zone

The burning/highest temperature zone os a cement kiln is nothing to do with the coating. The thermal energy in the ki...

Re: use of sodium sulphate in cement production

Sodium sulphate can be added in PPC cement production. The aim would be to increase the early hydraulic reactivity of...

Re: Raw Meal PSD

Granulometry would include particle shape as well as size.

Re: Hypothesization V/S Reality

Whether non-equilibrium cooling leads to more C3S than Bogue depends on the alumina modulus of the clinker. With high...

Re: ASR

In cement ASR normally means alkali-silica reaction. Is that what you mean and if so what has it to do with circulati...

Re: Hypothesization V/S Reality

Such relationships will vary plant to plant and kiln to kiln dependent on raw materials, fuels, buenr configuration, ...

Re: Hypothesization V/S Reality

There are well established corrections to the Bogue calculations for cooling rate of clinker. However, the only way t...

Re: Grate cooler

What do you mean by transport efficiency?

Re: FLAME

The hotter the secondary air the more difficult it is to entrain the required volume of combustion air into the flame...

Re: Kiln hood pressure

More likelihood of the hood going under pressure if there is a disturbance in the kiln.
