2 Major Roles of Limestone in Cement Manufacturing

After mixing with gypsum and admixtures, the clinker is sent to a cement mill for grinding. Cement grinding can be carried out either in an integrated cement plant or in a stand-alone cement grinding station. 3. What should limestone be mixed with to make cement? This needs to start with the cement composition.

A total of 53,141,130 metric tons of clinker are represented by the overall average industry dataset. It is estimated that in 2019 78,000,000 metric tons of clinker was produced in the US and hence, the plant sample represents about 68% of all US clinker production [13]. The plant average raw meal to clinker ratio is 1.59.

A 10 MW cement mill, output 270 tonnes per hour. A cement mill (or finish mill in North American usage [1]) is the equipment used to grind the hard, nodular clinker from the cement kiln into the fine grey powder that is cement. Most cement is currently ground in ball mills and also vertical roller mills which are more effective than ball mills.
