Influence of rotary kiln heat power, of raw cement mix composition on the microstructure and quality of industrial clinker
As far as known to the authors operative control of industrial clinker is, as a rule, not carried out with the petrographic analysis, i.e. on the basis of its macrostructure, and if at some plants it is carried out, then optionally. In due time Astreeva O.M. [1] with her colleagues from the institute “NIIcement” placed much emphasis on this method as an instrument for quality evaluation of raw cement mix preparation process (definition of chemical composition by saturation factor and other moduli, definition of homogenization index, optimum degree of fineness) as well as burning quality and fuel flow rate for clinker production. This is a safe method for operative evaluation of cement clinker quality and of fuel flow rate for its burning.
