The cement is now ready for use in construction projects. The flow sheet of cement manufacturing is given in Fig. 4.1. Kiln feed is subjected to succes-sive physical and chemical reactions as its temperature rises gradually as shown in Table 4.1. 4.2 Raw Material The major raw materials used as a source of CaO for cement manufacturing are
The bulk of the cement industry's environmental burden is from the calcareous source. Calcium is mostly available naturally as limestone (CaCO 3), where almost half of the mass is eventually released as CO 2 during clinker manufacture. Iron (Fe) is the fourth most common element in the Earth's crust surpassed only by oxygen, silicon, and …
The proportioning of cement raw materials is not all the same but should be determined according to the actual situation. The proportion of raw materials of different specifications of cement is also different. Generally, the proportion of components in cement raw materials is 67-75% limestone, 10-15% clay, 0.5-1.5% iron ore and 8.5-11% coal.
