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 3-25 mm and dark grey in color. It is produced by heating limestone and clay to the point of liquefaction at about 1400°C-1500°C in the rotary kiln. ...

How does the above affect kiln operations at a cement plant? Composition of the raw material mix in regard to percentage of CaCO3 has a substantial effect on the calcining zone. If the raw mix design is higher in CaCO3, it will require more energy for calcining. For example, a raw mix designed to give clinker with 65% CaO has a higher energy ...
