There are four stages in the manufacture of portland cement: (1) crushing and grinding the raw materials, (2) blending the materials in the correct proportions, (3) burning the prepared mix in a kiln, and (4) grinding the burned product, known as " clinker," together with some 5 percent of gypsum (to control the time of set of the cement). The three processes of …

Sulfate Resistant Clinker – The composition of this type of clinker is alite 76%, belite 5%, tricalcium aluminate 2%, tetra calcium aluminoferrite 16%, and free calcium oxide 1%. In recent years the production of this type of clinker has diminished as it is now possible to get sulfate resistance by making use of granulated blast furnace slag in cement manufacturing.

For cement clinker, LSF usually ranges from 0.92 to 0.98 [15, 16] while AM and SM fall between 1-to-4 and 2-to-3, respectively [15]. LSF can be used to optimize the C 3 S in the cement clinker at the clinkering temperature (∼1450 °C) [15]. Due to the large variations and combinations in LSF, AM, and SM, manufacturers cannot simply optimize ...

The clinker is ground in a ball mill—a horizontal steel tube filled with steel balls. As the tube rotates, the steel balls tumble and crush the clinker into a super-fine powder. It can now be considered Portland cement. The cement is so fine it will easily pass through a sieve that is fine enough to hold water.

2.2.3 Production of clinker. The clinker production stage is where the raw material (the raw meal) converts into clinker. The raw meal is fed into a rotary kiln through a preheater at about 1450 °C to produce clinker, the primary cement component (GHG, 2008; Salas et al., 2016).The kiln is known as the heart of the cement production process.

The cement clinker is ground as finished cement, in a vertical roller mill for cement or in ball mills similar to those normally used for grinding hard raw materials in dry and semi-dry processes. However, the cement clinker is more difficult to grind than raw materials and must also be finer ground. Therefore, finishing grinding ball mills are ...
