Manufacturing Portland Cement The clinker is then ground to produce portland cement Gypsum is added during the grinding process to control the set rate of the cement Slag and fly ash can also be added to control other properties of the final product Both the
Cement plant plane design should ensure that the process of continuous operation and transmission avoid the flow of cross transmission reduce transport setting up transmission lines the distance of the lines should be shortened as far as possible and the
Cement industry natural gas consumption is concentrated in the process heating end use about 90 of total gas consumption which involves clinker production in large kilns In most cases natural gas is used as a supplemental fuel to coal Only one California plant utilizes gas as a primary kiln fuel
Summary of production process The cement mill grinds the clinker to a fine powder A small amount of gypsum a form of calcium sulfate is normally ground up with the clinker The gypsum controls the setting properties of the cement when water is added The basic components of the cement production process
Manufacture of cement The three processes of manufacture are known as the wet dry and semidry processes and are so termed when the raw materials are ground wet and fed to the kiln as a slurry ground dry and fed as a dry powder or ground dry and then moistened to
