Portland cement clinker is nodules (diameters, 5–25 mm) of sintered material produced by heating a homogeneous mixture of raw materials in a kiln to a sintering temperature of approximately 1450 °C for modern cements.The resulting clinker consists of four main minerals: 11 1. Alite or tricalcium silicate, Ca 3 SiO 5 (in oxide terms 3CaO.SiO 2), abbreviated to C 3 S;
The use of alternative raw materials in clinker production or as a substitute for a portion of clinker in cement reduces consumption of natural non-renewable energy sources and emissions of CO2 (caused by the reaction of de-carbonation from raw materials and burning of fuel).
Kiln is a huge rotating furnace also called as the heart of cement making process. Here, raw material is heated up to 1450 ⁰C. This temperature begins a chemical reaction so called decarbonation. In this reaction material (like limestone) releases the carbon dioxide. High temperature of kiln makes slurry of the material.
After receiving cement raw materials from the Indian mining industry, limestone is transferred in raw mill for grinding into a fine powder. This fine powder of limestone is then heated at a very high temperature of 1450 degrees centigrade for clinkerisation. To heat, this fine powder at such high-temperature coal is used in clinkerisation section.

Stage of Cement Manufacture. There are six main stages of cement manufacturing process. Stage 1 Raw Material Extraction/Quarry. The raw cement ingredients needed for cement production are limestone (calcium), sand and clay (silicon, aluminum, iron), shale, fly ash, mill scale and bauxite. The ore rocks are quarried and crushed to smaller pieces of about 6 inches.
The heart of the portland cement manufacturing process is the pyroprocessing system. This system transforms the raw mix into clinkers, which are gray, glass-hard, spherically shaped nodules that range from 0.32 to 5.1 centimeters (cm) (0.125 to 2.0 inches [in.]) in diameter. The chemical reactions and physical processes that constitute the ...
Sulphates may be present in clinker up to about 3%. Sulphur in raw materials increases SOx emission and cause build-up in preheater. Sulphate can form a stable compound with Potassium (K2SO4) and to lesser extent Sodium (Na2SO4). The sulphates in the clinker comes from raw materials and fuel.
This paper mainly introduces the raw mill in cement plant. In order to achieve the desired setting qualities in the finished product, a quantity (2-8%, but typically 5%) of calcium sulfate (usually gypsum or anhydrite) is added to the clinker and the mixture is finely ground to form the finished cement powder. This is achieved in a cement raw mill.
