Better and cheaper cement: Optimising raw material properties

Cement performance is intially set by targeting a clinker lime saturation factor (LSF). This gives the required product strength but also provides good clinker burnability and reasonable economy of operation. The LSF level is often around 95 or 96, although the optimum LSF will vary depending on the raw material properties and other …

Cement Grinding

A typical raw mix consists of 75-85% limestone, 12-25% shale, the balance consisting of silica or quartzite and iron oxide. Exact proportioning is dependent upon their chemical properties before and after calcining to cement clinker. For good kiln practice the grind required is 88-92% – 200 mesh for standard cement, 99%-200 mesh for high early.
