Materials into the kiln – Raw Feed The Primary Feed materials to the Kiln system are:
Limestone Silica Aluminum Iron
These supply
CaO SiO2 Al2O3 Fe2O3
(C) (S) (A) (F)
These raw materials must be present in the correct
proportions in the ‘raw meal’ or kiln feed. 4

Significance of the Clinker Minerals.. C3S C2S
Contributes to early strength (1 - 28d+) Contributes to late strength (28 d - ...) Increases heat of hydration Contributes to very early strength (1 - 2 d)
C3A
Increases heat of hydration Reduces resistance to sulphate attack
C4AF Little effect 6

Clinker Production Processess
We can identify four distinctly different production processes
1. Wet Process 2. Dry Process 3. Semi-dry Process 4. Semi-wet Process
The wet process was the predominant process in the past.
Today all new installations are dry process based 7
