The energy consumption of the total grinding plant can be reduced by 20–30 % for cement clinker and 30–40 % for other raw materials. The overall grinding circuit efficiency and stability are improved.
The quality of cement clinker is directly related to the chemistry of the raw materials used. Around 80–90% of raw material for the kiln feed is limestone. Clayey raw material accounts for between 10–15%, although the precise amounts will vary. Magnesium carbonate, which may be present in limestone, is the main undesirable impurity. The level
2. Raw material grinding. After crushing, the raw materials are carried to a grinding mill and made into a fine powder. This is done using equipment such as ball mills or vertical roller mills. The grinding process ensures the correct particle size of raw material and its homogeneous constitution, which is so critical for product quality. 3 ...
Storage of Raw Materials on Site. The areas for the storage of raw materials on site are shown in plan at Appendix C on page 90 and page 91. The raw materials will be stored at two locations on the site; one for the clinker with a storage capacity of around 40,000 MT, and one for gypsum, slag and additives with a capacity of around 10,000 MT.
This research aimed to investigate the potential of partial substitution of cement raw meal with grinding sludge as an alternative raw material in Portland cement clinker production. Cement raw mixtures with up to 3% raw mix replacement were put through a burning process in a high-temperature furnace.
In the raw meal grinding process, VRMs are used to grind the raw materials used in cement production, such as limestone, clay, and silica. After being crushed and processed in crushers,the raw materials are fed into the VRM through the center of the rotating table, where they are ground to powders by the rollers.
