As the cost of refractories is a major expense in operating a cement plant, kiln stoppages are avoided as far as possible. As the meal passes through the burning zone, it reaches clinkering temperatures of about 1400 C - 1500 C. Nodules form as the burning zone is approached

Portland cement clinker is nodules (diameters, 5–25 mm) of sintered material produced by heating a homogeneous mixture of raw materials in a kiln to a sintering temperature of approximately 1450 C for modern cements. The resulting clinker consists of four main minerals: 11

particles begin to cement themselves together to create a hard material called bisque. 300–800˚C: Carbonaceous materials (impurities in the clay along with paper, wax, etc.) burn out. The kiln requires ample air during this stage since after 800˚C sintering begins and the clay surface begins to seal off

Then the clinkerization occurs inside the kiln at high temperature (typically 1400–1500 C). Inside the kiln, calcium oxide reacts with silica, alumina, and ferrous oxide to form the silicates (C 3 S, C 2 S), aluminates (C 3 A), and ferrites (C 4 AF) respectively, which are the main constituent of the clinker

The process that cement raw materials is sintered in a kiln is the key to the quality of cement clinker. In the sintering process of cement raw material, the useful components decomposed by various raw materials at 1000 C are mainly: calcium oxide (CaO), silicon dioxide (SiO 2), aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3), and ferric oxide (Fe 2 O 3)

Feb 13, 2012 The calcination process that takes place in a calciner for cement production is of particular importance because it affects energy consumption and pollutant emissions.
