Design a new cement plant Page 1 of 1
Re: Design a new cement plant. Normal practice is to locate the cement plant close to the limestone quarry. This is because 44% of the calcium carbonate, CaCO3, in the limestone will be lost as CO2 in the exhaust gases from the kiln. It is therefore a waste of energy and cost to transport that embodied CO2 a long distance to the cement plant ...
The Cement Manufacturing Process Advancing Mining
Cement manufacturing is a complex process that begins with mining and then grinding raw materials that include limestone and clay, to a fine powder, called raw meal, which is then heated to a sintering temperature as high as 1450 °C in a cement kiln. In this process, the chemical bonds of the raw materials are broken down and then they are recombined into new compounds. The result is called ...
