Sulphate in clinker26 November 2018, Published under Cement NewsThe amount of sulphate (SO 3 ) varies widely in cement clinker. Arthur Harrisson discusses the sources of SO 3 and its impact on clinker composition. Figure 1: relationship between the contents of sulphate and aluminate in alite crystals from two cement plants The four main phases in Portland cement clinker are alite (C 3 S), belite (C 2 S), aluminate (C 3 A) and ferrite (C 4 AF). As has frequently been discussed, the chemical compositions suggested in brackets for these compou... |
Cyclic processes10 July 2013, Published under Cement NewsThe Technical Forum has covered the topic of the cyclic processes taking place in a cement kiln on a number of occasions over the last 15 years. Regular readers may think that there is not much more to be said on the subject. However, these processes remain one of the most frequent sources of questions and, therefore, it is perhaps time to revisit this topic. In one of the many cycles operating in a cement plant, alkali salts evaporate in the burning zone and are carried back to th... |
