White cement is produced via a similar process to grey cement although the raw materials differ significantly The iron oxide and iron sulphate content in the limestone must be as low as possible as each % increase in iron oxide reduces cement reflectivity by % producing darker cement Denmark s Aalborg Portland Cement Egypt s
Selection of raw material grinding system The design of the raw material grinding system should focus on the energy saving vertical mill grinding system because of its power saving simple process to become a large cement plant the use of a ball mill grinding system is no more than two reasons first the raw material is difficult to grind
Ordinary Portland cement OPC is defined as being the product obtained by pulverizing clinker consisting essentially of calcium silicates to which no addition has been made after calcination other than water and gypsum Raw materials Raw materials for OPC production are essentially clay and limestone with regulating
cement mills with a drying chamber see raw mills Mill working conditions ventilation air speed through the mill Bigger or smaller than [m/s] Material abrasivity The [%] of slag or pouzzolana content on the fresh mill feed for cement grinding The [%] of free silica at mill feed for raw material grinding Moisture content of the mill
This subsequent grinding of cement raw materials is sometimes indispensable Comminution of cement raw materials cannot be completely performed by autogenous grinding Therefore grinding media are employed in an amount comprising approximately 6 12 % of the mill volume With the auxiliary charge of grinding media a better reduction by impact
For the past three decades the vertical roller mill has emerged to be the preferred choice for grinding raw materials With the grinding capacity of a vertical roller mill and the ability to dry grind and sort in a single unit the vertical roller mill offers a definite advantage over the ball mill system [10]
White cement is produced via a similar process to grey cement although the raw materials differ significantly The iron oxide and iron sulphate content in the limestone must be as low as possible as each % increase in iron oxide reduces cement reflectivity by % producing darker cement Denmark s Aalborg Portland Cement Egypt s
Mining of raw material including limestone clay gypsum and others Grinding raw material to a fine powder called raw meal Raw meal is heated at a temperature of 1 450 °C in a cement kiln to produce clinker Hot clinker exits from kiln and enters the clinker cooler to reduce its temperature from 1450 °C to 100 °C Cooled clinker
† Cement grinding † Cement dispatch All these steps are described in detail in the next sections Quarrying The major raw material used in cement manufacture is lime It is derived from materials such as limestone chalk marl shale and clay which are obtained from mines by quarrying them
Among the industries the non metallic industry was reported as the third largest energy user and accounted for about 12% of the global energy use [1] Within this portion cement industry had the majority of the utilization with 12% [1] [2] Energy Information Administration EIA [7] named cement industry as the most energy intensive among the
