CONTROL OF CEMENT CLINKER PRODUCTION BY ANALYSIS OF SULFUR IN THE END PRODUCT

摘要

Cement clinker is produced using high sulfur fuels by combusting high sulfur fuel within a kiln. The feed material is introduced at an inlet of the kiln and is sintered by the combusting fuel to form sintered material. The sintered material is cooled to form cement clinker. The production of the sintered material is controlled by measuring the sulfur content in the cement clinker and using that measurement to control the concentration of oxygen at the inlet of the kiln. The fuel may contain up to 14 % sulfur.
