What is Cement Clinker? Composition, Types Uses
Clinker is a nodular material produced in the kilning stage during the production of cement and is used as the binder in many cement products The lumps or nodules of clinker are usually of diameter 325 mm and dark grey in color It is produced by heating limestone and clay to the point of liquefaction at about 1400°C1500°C in the rotary kiln Clinker cooling is the final step in clinker production This process aims to recycle heat, preheat the secondary air, and improve the quality and grindability of the clinker Besides, the rapid cooling of the clinker in this process is convenient for cement Clinker Production Clinker Manufacturing Cement This work focused on producing cement clinker using coal fly ash (CFA), sewage sludge ash (SSA) and an industrial waste with a high content of calcium silicate (CS) Experiments were conducted to assume the use of a process that may consume less energy and raw materials that used in cement clinker manufacturingCement Clinker Based on Industrial Waste Materials

Clinker is the backbone of cement production It is essentially a mix of limestone and minerals that have been heated in a kiln and have been transformed by this heat When limestone is converted to clinker, CO 2 is released (also known as process emissions)The 2500t / d cement clinker production line adopts a new dry process, with an annual output of 775,000 tons of cement clinker and a total cement output of 105 million tons / year A cement production line and auxiliary facilities from limestone crushing to cement packaging are constructed2500TPD new type dry process cement clinker In 2001, cement industry consumed about 16 % on the whole manufacturing energy consumption [10] Energyefficiency measures for clinker production in cement industryBelow are the options available to improve energy efficiency for the production of clinker in cement plant Not every measure will apply to each plant Improved refractories for Energy Savings Measures for Clinker Production in
Temperature control during clinker cooling process
Clinker cooling A very important process during cement production is the cooling of the clinker, since to a large extent the quality and characteristics of the cement depend on this phase The hot clinker produced in the rotary kiln is transferred to a cooler, where it is cooled by air blowers before being conveyed to the cement Energy Use A cement manufacturing plant requires significant amounts of energy to produce clinker, the main ingredient in cement Energy in the form of electricity is required to prepare the raw meal (typically limestone, clay, sand and iron ore), run the kiln and, in integrated cement plants, to grind the clinker, gypsum and other materials to produce cement in grinding millsEnergy Use – Cement Cement – Cement Industry The remaining cement is shipped in bulk quantities by mean of trucks, rails or ships Cement Manufacturing Process Flow Chart After explaining the complete process of cement making, flow chart would be like that flow chart present the summary of whole process as shown belowCement Manufacturing Process Phases Flow Chart
