The finishing lime
In this month’s Technical Forum, Dr Clark examines the conditions and complications under which raw materials compete for the available lime during the production of clinker.
In the Technical Forum, Cemtech Workshops and CemNet Online Training we are always trying to improve understanding of the technology of the cement manufacturing process. At the heart of that process is the combination of the raw materials into clinker in the cement kiln. This month’s Technical Forum discusses how the combination of raw materials into clinker in the kiln can be see as a competition for available lime.
