10 secrets of clinker

10 secrets of clinker First Rule Reducing raw mix rejects lowers burning temperature and grinding energy. This is particularly the case with siliceous rejects. This action is also beneficial to strength properties. Key Figures: When the amount of 100µm rejects is reduced from 20 to 10%, the global raw mix cement energy consumption is lowered …
