Parametric Studies of Cement Production Processes

Figure 1

Most important technologies for clinker (cement) production in regard to RKS configuration, temperature ranges, and functional zones [9, 10]. Escape of liquid and adsorbed water. Dehydration of clay minerals and activation of oxides by decomposition of clay minerals. The length of this zone and the cooling rate depend on the primary burner position and the type of cooler. The clinker leaves the rotary kiln (a) at a temperature of about 1350°C when the sintering zone is close to the RK exit and (b) at a temperature of about 1150°C when it is a long cooling zone for satellite coolers.
