Effect of chemical composition of clinker on grinding energy
The energy consumption in the cement mills varies between 16.5 to 63.5 kWh/ton with an average of 36kWh/ton [1]. There are numerous factors affecting the energy consumption during clinker grinding. Clinker hardness imparts a wide variation to grindability. The hardest clinker takes about 80% more power than the softest one [2]. …
Better and cheaper cement: Optimising the right clinker …
Large clinker nodules (Figure 2) are difficult to cool, transport and grind into cement. Clinker should ideally have a smaller average nodule size and a narrow nodule size range. More uniformly sized clinker is more evenly distributed into the cooler and has more consistent bed porosity, which enables more stable cooler and kiln operation.
