Clinker

When limestone is converted to clinker, CO 2 is released (also known as process emissions). A substantial amount of heat is needed to start and sustain the chemical reaction, leading to further CO 2 emissions (also known as combustion emissions). The clinker is finely ground and mixed with gypsum and often with alternative raw materials …

Clinkerization

SO 3 in clinker comes from raw materials and fuel. Sulphate can form a stable compound with potassium and comparatively lesser stable compound with sodium as potassium sulphate (K 2 SO 4) and sodium sulphate (Na 2 SO 4) respectively. Sulphur in raw meal increases SO x emission and causes build-up in preheater. Sulphates needs to balance ...

Burnability and Clinkerization of Cement Raw Mixes

Cement raw mix represents a polymineral and polydispersive mixture whose compositions can vary within a wide range due to the character of raw materials used. In the clinker-making process, 90% of the raw mix constituents is comprised of the four major oxides, viz. C, A, S and F, and the remaining 10% is made up of minor constituents.
