Alternative fuels in cement manufacturing: Modeling for process
Section snippets Background: cement manufacturing process and flows. In a typical dry process plant, soil materials and combusted fuel are transformed to clinker and off gases (Fig. 1) in temperatures reaching 1500 °C (kiln).The clinker is subsequently air-cooled in the clinker cooler, mixed with additives and ground to cement.
